Box Pleat Kilt In Gray Auld Lang Syne tartan...Cali style!

Nice Hamish II. I like the Auld Lang Syne tartan. Few seem to know of it, it can be as hard to get as the California tartan.

Interesting that your sig line says to wear diced hose... then you don't wear hose at all. "Do as I say, not as I do."?

Just funnin'. Flip flops look good and are sounding more and more reasonable as it warms up down here.

Oh, and "two more kilts in my spare time"? phtphtphtpht!

Well, exactly. Forever wearing solid-coloured hose or no hose at all... then putting together more really nice kilts IN HIS SPARE TIME!! I don't know what to say about this guy. He clearly has talent and time 'cause that kilt is looking good.

(That didn't come off sounding all jealous or anything, did it?

Man.....I have sooooo many pairs of diced,triced,argyll hose, etc. But my hose are 100% woolies and around this time of the year, I stop wearing wool kilts and hose and change to PV kilts and flip flops! I take that back-If I'm heading to the city (San Fran for all you non Bay Area folks)' its usually cool enough to wear my wool in the summertime. Sacramento is a whole different story...110' weather will be here soon......

"But Josh -- lighten up! Learn to smile for the camera!"

But I am smiling....

OK-Here ya' go. This should take care of me lightening up AND wearing diced hose. This was last sunday at the Sacramento tartan day picnic wearing one of my "new" kilts to fit my enlarged body I made a couple of weeks ago.

Those who live here know it's not the city, it's The City. :-)

More relevant, though: that's a nice-looking sett and looks to be a very well-made kilt -- looks great on you!!

My box pleated kilts are 80/20 Machine/hand stitched, and "IF" conditions are right, ie. no little daughter distracting me, good general mood, good dinner the night before, I can make one in the course of a full day!!!
