    I love the belt buckle. I was thinking of getting one like that and a kilt pin to match.

    The kilt looks great. I hadn't liked the button pattern when I saw it on the website, but I like it better on someone.

    SteveB,
    Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad. I'm not challenging Hamish though, that's for sure.

    SFCRick,
    Well, different strokes for different folks.

    McClef,
    No, they didn't all arrive that day. Actually, I had gotten home from hockey, late at night, and asked my wife to take pics of all my kilts since it was long over due for some.

    cessna152towser,
    Thanks. It's a different feel, but I do love it.

    James MacMillan,
    Actually, I think I'm sitting at 26 kilts at the moment. I haven't shown all of them, since most are different utilikilts.

    Makeitstop, kiltedinUSMC, Coemgen,
    Thanks!

    USMC45CAL,
    I believe her website is www.altkilt.com. Her name is Regina.

    djweso,
    I got the belt buckle on ebay. I have the decepticon one as well, but the pointy bits on the top of it aren't so comfy sometimes ;)

    I'd love to get a kilt pin to match!

    As for the details on this kilt, well, I do love it. The brush of the corduroy runs horizontally instead of vertically as on the utilikilts and the union kilts versions. I don't notice much of a difference, but I do think that it makes the pattern look nicer this way.

    One thing that has gone unnoticed thus far, is that the pleats actually run the opposite way. The apron opens the proper way, however, the pleats run in reverse. This was a mixup by the kiltmaker, but aside from looks, does not affect functionality.

    I had quite a bit of a hard time in the ordering process of this kilt. Communication started off great with Regina, but part way through, I think life situations got in the way, and my kilt was pushed slightly aside. At one point, I was worried that I would not receive anything, but she pulled through with a great looking piece of workmanship.

    The cargo pockets are detachable, but if I load them with things, I have to be sure to button the flaps, or they are too easy to pull off if they catch on anything. I am thinking of adding a third snap in the middle to help keep it attached. (An easy fix)

    Thanks!
    Mike
