First Kilted Day at Work

[KFCarter]

So what tartan are you wearing?

It's the Roxburgh District tartan... the red, "ancient" version.

Looks nice
how did the Rotarian's react? Rotary has an official tartan, if interested, and the President elect is from Scotland.
I was hoping to be able to wear a kilt on Clan Macfie day as it happens to correspond with my Rotary meeting day. But I can't get the kilt in time

Thanks for the info on the Rotary tartan... I would be interested. The reaction at the club was uniformly positive. In fact, several members I did not know introduced themselves, identified themselves as members of the local St. Andrews' Society and after a few questions suggested I apply. Nothing like a kilt to start a conversation! I don't know how other clubs might react; Savannah is so close to its own history, and so much of it has Celtic ties, that I think my experience might not be universal. A kilt just fits this city. Good luck with the kilt jones!

It seems we're all in one of two states: jones-ing for a kilt; or about to be jones-ing for a kilt!

My club is pretty loose, and would love it, I'm sure. glad you had a positive experience
Here's the Rotary tartan: You can see the Rotary gold and blue overlay.

Thanks, cousin! I truly love the tartan, it's the Roxburgh District tartan in honor of an immigrant ancestor on my mother's side.

Btw, in honor of my new credo, "You can never have too many kilts", my MacArthur Ancient tank is already in the works. My kiltmaker is going to pleat up a bit to sett and to stripe (per your suggestion...thanks!), so we can confer on the choice.
all the best

Good job!!! I can't wait to see that one!!
Congrats Cousin,
Sara

I like it. I can feel a "rationale" for another kilt coming on... it's like the flu, only more expensive!

Very nice outfit indeed.

Might I ask about your sporran? The workmanship looks very fine!

Thanks, Tom. I purchased the Sporran at the Scottish Mill Shop, in Bluffton SC, not far from Savannah. It is nicely put together, with a very nice feel to the finish and I believe it will hold up well. It doesn't have quite as much room as some, but handled my keys and wallet with no problem.

It's from L & M Highland Outfitters and they list it under their Irish Sporrans.

A very impressive array of sporrans in those albums!
