McMurdo,
Thanks

Cacunn,
Lol, no, they didn't all come in one day. I've just been a wee bit slow in taking pictures, and then posting them. These don't glow in the dark, however, I do have a t-shirt with that print on it that does glow in the dark. (My wife did the screen printing.)

SteveB,
Well, I do drive a truck, but no, I didn't pick them all up that day.

SFCRick,
Strange kilt, for a strange guy. (Me)

McClef,
I thought that my wife's screenprint would look nice on the kilt. It was hard for her to line it all up and then to get a nice flat base to actually do the print on it. I'm quite happy with the results.

As for the Canadian flag, I think that this military subdued version goes well with that kilt. The colours seemed to tie in well, and thus, why I sewed it onto it.

cessna152tower,
Thanks! It's my wife's design. It's based off of an experience she had when she was in the Israeli army. The contrails are actually jewish stars.

James MacMillan,
Oh, how I wish I had fallen into a vat of money. More kilts! More hockey gear! More bicycles! More everything! Alas, I will be more than content with what I have ;)

andyfg, JamesA, kiltedinUSMC, Coemgen, djweso,
Thanks for the kind words.

Now, as far as these kilts are concerned, I had purchased these quite some time ago. (Well, quite some time, being, when I first started getting into kilts, this past summer.) I have a few t-shirts already that have the stars and jets design on it that my wife made up, and I thought that the pattern would transfer over nicely onto the front apron of the kilt. As luck would have it, it just barely fits into the space on the front apron of a Utilikilt. As I stated above, it was quite a difficult process for my wife to line everything up, and then position things to get a nice flat surface to put the print onto it. Because of the pleating, some of the stars and jets had to be filled in by hand by my wife after the screen went down.

I'm really happy with how they turned out, and it's nice to be able to say my wife did it.

Mike

Good that people have different tastes, the screen printing is not my piece of cake, but the subdued flag is indeed a great idea and fits well to the olive kilt. I think I have a Great Britain flag in the same style somewhere and that will go on my UK.
