Happy birthday to your friend.

Beat me to that one!! I was thinking the same thing. We're MacLeods of Harris, but I love the Lewis tartan! It took time to grow on me... it's, well, loud!

But I want a kilt from it! And that jacket- wow!! I'm totally jealous!!

Looking good fella's.

As a Macleod, I'm keen on both the Coat and the Kilt! My wife on the other hand... Not fond of my own Loud Macleod Kilt lol.

It's too bad that jacket is too small for me. I might ask them to wear it more often.

Next time we have a kilted outing, I'll request he wear it.

Is this not a pair of shoes, crying out for RED laces!

Regards

Good eye, Ron. Yes, the tartan in the kilt is indeed incorrect. That's the version woven by Marton Mills in Polyviscose. Not sure why they don't do the correct sett.

The best kinds of times to be had, my friend.

You can have this band play for your gathering!

I recently saw a MacLeod of Lewis muted tartan kilt that was absolutely to die for. It was absolutley gorgeous and had me totally wanting to get a kilt in it. I Was with Panache at the time who actually is a Mac of Lewis and he was going gaga as well...google it to see what I mean..a real beauty.

Folks seem to either love or hate that tartan...doesn't matter though, its a Clan Tartan!

If you crave it and are my size (about 42 waist 21 1/2 length) have my USA Kilts semi-trad in Loud MacLeod posted on the sale forum - somewhere...long time ago.

The idea is to have a fun little gathering, not block out the sun in sheer kilt brightness.

My MacLeod friend has noticed this extensively.

I think it's fun having him around just for that purpose. My typical wear kilt is a MacDonald of the Isles Hunting Ancient. For kilt outings with my friends, most of us are wearing mostly green or a variant therein, with another guy wearing a Stuart Bute (red). Then, right in the middle of us all, BRIGHT YELLOW to tie everything together.
