Oh I totally would. My family is from Pennslyvania and I like the tartan. I just cant buy another kilt this year. Dang

The kilts have JUST shipped. Should be arriving with their new owners any day now (all save 1 who still has a balance owed).

I have enough fabric for 1 more 8 yarder or a 5 yarder and a mini kilt. I will say that I was PLEASANTLY surprised when the fabric arrived. I've always been 'moderately' fond of the Pennsylvania tartan and have only done 2 (as special weaves) in modern colors in the past. The muted colors REALLY give this tartan a different look. I'm extremely glad this one the way we did (muted).

I've already worn mine in the shop with a dark red polo to very positive reviews.

Looking at the tracking information mine cleared the Cincinnati sort facility on Saturday. It should be here today.

Mine reached the distribution center in Coppell last night. To be delivered today.

Go USPS, go!

I vote other... I have a job interview today, and should I actually get the job, I'll change my vote to a yes! Not that it matters at this point!!

I don't live in PA, but my great-grandfather's great-great grandfather got off the boat ad raised a family there. So, I'd be possibly interested in a modern, 8-yd, 16 oz kilt.

The cloth is 13 oz, not 16. As stated above, there's enough for 1 more 8 yarder at the current time.

Rocky, it just arrived. Needs a light steam on the apron and I need to remove the basting of course. It's perfect. Fitts like a dream. (pictures coming tomorrow). I love the muted colors. And it means a lot to represent my home state.

I must ask:
-Who wove the tartan?
-When did you start including that snazzy carrying bag? Very handy.

The weave was House of Edgar's 13 oz cloth in their 'stock' muted color scheme.

The snazzy garment bag is included (free) with every Premier Kilt OR Jacket that USA Kilts sells. We've been doing that for about 3 years now. It's specially made for us to fit a kilt hanger and it's breathable, so you can store your kilt in it for long periods of time and it will be protected from moths.

I can't wait to see the pics!
