It did indeed arrive yesterday, and I like it as much as I hoped I would. It's 16-oz fabric, whereas the other (US Army) was only available in 13-oz. And while I prefer the heavier fabric, the 13-oz looks absolutely fine and also feels just fine with the heat wave we're having right now.

Wore the new Douglas Grey last night for the first time, at dinner following a day of martial arts training at the Marin Headlands:

I like that grey Douglas. It understated but eye-catching at the same time.

I also like that the word "grey" is spelled correctly. It just looks sad spelled as "gray".

Very nice Dale. I like the Douglas Grey also.

I had Rocky make a kilt skirt for my Girlfriend in her family tartan - Moffat Modern, which is Douglas with a red over-stripe. I've heard that because of a close association between the two clans, the Moffat was based on the Douglas tartan.

After seeing how well yours looks, I may just have to have a kilt made to match with her's.

Piperdbh,
I never saw that spelling until I met the owner of a Scottish inn we stay at near here. His name is Grey Barr. Is it a Scot's only way of spelling ?
