    New Kilt Arrived

    My bespoke Weathered Ulster finally arrived today, and I am elated. I haven't even tried it on, but it is hanging by the new kilt hanger I bought for the purpose in my office, and I keep admiring it.

    I will post photos to prove that it really happened in a few days just to show off what a real Tweksbury looks like on me. Add in the new hand-knitted red hose (from piperdbh) and the new navy hose ties (Tartan Museum), and I'll be quite dashing.

    Well, I'll be well-dressed anyway.

    Woo-hoo.

    What do you mean you haven't tried it on yet? That's the first thing you do when a kilt arrives.
    I'm waiting for the pictures, man.

    Nice (?) of you to spread the jones around a bit as you keep us waiting for pictures of you wearing your new kilt, Jim.

    Get on with it, man!

    Regards,

    Brian

    Yes, yes Jim we are very pleased for you, now where are the pictures? No more of this hogging the limelight and just lounging about, how about popping out and finding a camera? No need to be bashful, you know!

    Actually, I am really pleased for you.

    I believe the term is "Pix, or it didn't happen"

    Just kidding, I guess we'll all have to sit back and wait like big boys for our "new kilt contact high".

    Congratulations on the new kilt. I've been eying my wife's family's county's tartan, Longford.


    In fact, I'd LOVE for our own Mr. Newsome to give me a jingle on Monday telling me I'd won that raffle and that he was getting ready to start MY new box pleater in the Longford County tartan
