    Thank you all for the kind comments. Funny thing is---everything the two boys are wearing came out of my shop in about 20 min. Right down to the boots which are mine and were sitting around since the last time I got them wet walking to work in the rain.
    It was amazing that when the boys walked into the shop neither had any idea how to wear the kilt or how to create an outfit. Both kilts are actually about three inches too large. The vest is the charcoal gray waistcoat from my Argyle Jacket and you can see where I pinned the back to get it to fit better.
    Also note the X Marks pin used to balance the look of the black and silver outfit.
    However, both the boys took to the kilt like the proverbial 'duck to water' and as soon as they found out the effect the kilts had on the girls, both played it to the hilt.
    The school is just down the street from the shop and all day today groups of high school girls would walk past the shop saying things like "OH look, there are those kilts like Conner and Galen wore."

    Joke for the day-----
    A group of geese are called a "gaggle". That means perhaps a group of teenaged girls can be called a "giggle".

    Well here's a question no one seems to have asked yet. Are the lads going to be ordering their own kilts? If they look that sharp in off the peg kilts, imagine the swath they'd cut in custom fitted kit!

    That is great, Steve! Those two young fellas pulled it off really well. And Vic High, that's my school! I graduated there 35 years ago. Great exposure for kilts and Freedom Kilts, Steve.
