a new vendor, and a good experience

As someone who has every right to admire good legs on a man I would say that the kilt is just the right length to show off your natural assets.

I mean - if you got it flaunt it - and having recently come across two photos of the inimitable Hamish in pinstriped kilts I would point out that he wears his kilts to exactly that same point on the knee cap.

I always go by 'the craftsman's rule' - If it looks right, it is right.

And - for 100 dollars? Definite Scottish tendencies there. Can't go wrong.

If you're going to wear your kilts for a lot of walking, outdoor activities or such, it is good to have the kilt off the back of your knee. And the previous statement is correct; it is better to have the kilt a little shorter than longer.

I've just ordered a MacTavish, wool, end-of-line, SWK, clearance kilt for $80. It's in the mail as I type; should have it this week. My only connection with MacTavish, is that Clan Chattan (Clan MacIntosh) both supported Prince Charlie. If this kilt fits and looks good, I may order more SWKs, but I still like the SK for a nice light casual kilt. Also, I find a local Scottish Loft, sells custom made-to-measure 10 oz. (lightweight) wool kilts for $400 Cdn. in all tartans.

As I was just doing some family territory comparisons, it seems that MacTavish and Currie (me grandmither) are from the same area of Scotland, and me gran'fither's Glennie (Inverness, Culsalmond, Kemnay) isn't too far away, either. I wouldn't be surprised to find some family connection around 1800.
