    My new kilt!

    Finally got pics of my new kilt up. These were taken on Monday. Tartan is House of Edgar's Ferguson Modern in 16 oz wool pleated to the sett. The first pleat just to the left of the front apron always kicks out on all my kilts, not really sure why. But otherwise I think it looks great! The feel is drastically different from PV... love it.

    Also see if loosening that bottom strap helps a bit, too.

    Very nice tartan and kilt!

    Tried hiking it up some, but it keeps sliding down. Guess I need to tighten the top straps a little. I'll try that and losening the bottom strap tonight and see if they help. Thanks!

    I recognize that look on your face... It's a great feeling, isn't it?

    btw, I've had the same issue on occasion; think I'll try loosening that bottom strap, too.

    I'm jealous! I won't be feeling that for a while... I blew my kilt wad back in January.
