    I got a picture. It's not good because I had to take it myself, but I have one. Here it is:



    Notice my pin. Yes, it's a Klingon dagger. Also, the kilt I'm wearing is the Albannach tartan. I got these cuffs for this kilt. I'm not sure I like the way they match, though... I may have to get an Isle of Skye to go with those cuffs.

    I'll tell you, Alan, I ordered a pair from Sydnie for the same reason. I weigh in at just under 290, I hike, I'm a martial artist- my calves are huge! I actually just finished measuring for a Flamingo kilt, so I have my tape out- my calves measure at 22 inches of solid muscle, so when I walk and these monsters flex, they stretch hose to just about the limits I think (except for my Lewis Rich's, which are wonderfully comfortable!) So as soon as I get my toppers, I'll make sure to let you know how they work on me.

    Ah but Alan, Grant knows that this is a family friendly site.

    He's been slapped by Jamie enough.

    I wear the kilt because:

    I just got my cuffs. Not only do they actually fit around my monster sized calves, they fit very comfortably. They aren't stretched out of shape as I had feared might happen. And they're beautiful! I love them. I'll post pictures... sometime tonight or tomorrow.
