My kilt finally arrived....

If I can jump in here a minute guys, I can confirm that it IS Lochcarron fabric. Strathmore did not have this tartan in 16 oz. weight so they had to get the material from Lochcarron. Jo Brown told me about this long before the kilt was made.

Leave it to a kilt maker to notice that. I noticed the "Strome" but missed the direction of the twill.

Ok, so can someone put my worried mind to rest....is the twill running the right way on my kilt and what exactly does that mean?

Thanks,

ok, I must be blind.... where do you see a tag?

**Eric Schutte** · 29th March 10, 06:45 PM

Peacekeeper, you are not blind, you have to go to the Facebook link that I posted to see the tag and I think you have to be a facebook member to view it. Facebook was the only way I could figure out how to post a pic initially. Sorry for the crossed wires.....

Aye, now there's a kilt... Proof positive it be yours! Good on yah lad!

Now, if you would just learn to use the image code.....

**Eric Schutte** · 29th March 10, 07:02 PM

OK, I admit it, I am NOT very bright so I am afraid you will now have to explain what an "image code" is to a VERY technilogically challenged person....computers and I hate each other, belay that, we DISPISE each other.

image code in photobucket is one of four little boxes under the picture that pop up when you put your mouse cursor on the picture. Image is the last one down. Just move your cursor into the box, right click copy and past to your post in X-marks. (help if you have two windows open one here and one there). That way we can all see your sartorial splendor with out having to jump to facebook, or photobucket.

Be nice, computers are your friend....They make it easier to do your job.....where would you be with out thermal imaging and laser range finders?

Not to mention GPS JDAMS

Check earlier threads such as this one.

Your kilt is perfect, it's just that the tartan is inside out.

No, let me rephrase that. Because of new equipment at the mill, the old rule of the twill line doesn't apply. The "good side" of the fabric has the lines in the opposite direction, and the kiltmaker has made it with the good side out, as you would wish!
