Indeed McMurdo, I actually got my black barathea Braemar from Carngorm in just that very way. We're very lucky in southern Ontario to have some options, eh? Do you prefer those two shops to the others in the area?

Yes Bee, you surely done good

Being kilted makes me much easier to buy gifts for now... I trust you're paying attention to the two other posts I just quoted

two other posts? what posts?

**CMcG** · 23rd February 10, 08:07 AM

The one from McMurdo about off-rentals and NewGuise about self-tie bowties!

Looking well turned-out, sir. I'm glad to see the length of your kilt (I know, it's a personal thing) is not so long as is often the case.

I see no such post

I agree!

If you sew, it's very easy to make bow ties -- there's even a free pattern available online. There's a thread about it here, with links and notes about technique (turning the points can be tricky without the "threads" method).

Here's the link -- not that easy to find, as "bow tie" is rejected for too short a search term LOL

Ooh awesome, diy and cheap! Sounds much more reasonable than spending $30-50 for one and paying for shipping
