    Yep, he had to chase me till I stopped 'cause the steps he had to put the package on are folded in when I cannonball down the highway.

    Congratulations on the kilt. I'll echo the request for pictures, but for a different reason - it is the tartan of our shared alma mater, after all.

    Here's the proof, it's here

    Had to wait till after work to get the photos, I was HOT and rushing to get the photos before getting dark. Even though I might not look it, I am HAPPY with my 1st made to measure kilt from Rocky at USA Kilts. I couldn't see the photo that well on the small screen of the camera, I should have had another photo taken. But at least it is proof that it is here.



    Now for the pleat shot...



    How 'bout the matching Royal Stewart boots ?

    Now I'm all set if I can get to Homecoming. But I know that I'm ready for the Alumni Luncheon in Sebring, FL next February.

    The choice of tartan had all to do with the tartan of my Alma Mater (and also Wompet's). It's the tartan of the "Fighting Scots" of Edinboro (PA) University, although when I graduated in the "old days" they were the "Red Raiders".

    I needed a reason to justify a second kilt (to me Missus, after getting me 1st kilt only 3 months before ordering this one). It's the measurement test of me measurements for my Clan Claus kilt in the tartan, Claus of the North Pole.

    Nice kilt. The Casual is ideal for summer wear.

    A traditional kilt usually has a higher rise than that of the kilt pictured.

    I believe a few factors caused that: the kilt slipped down Santa's "cookie zone" belly before the photo was taken, it was taken in a hurry before getting dark due to the "pressure" to post a photo or the kilt really didn't exist, and I was standing on a lower level than my wife who took the photo. I also do plan for an inch or so higher rise in my next kilt.
