A traditional Bear Kilt?

[Rubber Soul]

That's a really nice tartan. I like it a lot!

Hell, if I had money I'd ever consider getting one like that, except I bet the yellow would look silly on me.

Bear cut a little to much off and maybe it will end up on the in stock page
I hope it turns out great for ya.

I received the MacLeod tartan today. It's gorgeous! It's 16oz twill but soft and much less scratchy than some other wools I've used. The selvedge is invisible.
I also bought some yellow canvas for the liner, some heavy thread, and curved needles.
I cut 8 yards at my length and zig zagged the top edge, so it wouldn't fray while I make the kilt. Everything else I'm going to hand stitch.
I have no idea if it will be ready for Kilts Night this Saturday. I hope so.

Well, if it is ready for kilts night, we'll see you coming........

I'd look like a mutant canary.

Har! Thanks for lifting my spirits, Bubba!

I had considered a USA kilt in this material, but my wife pretty much nixed the idea. I think that JC's whistler's kilt looks pretty sharp.

As one who's witnessed Jimmy in this kilt (That's the one you wore to Finnigan's, right?) It's a VERY striking tartan.

I've been generally looking at more drab and earth-toned tartans for my future kilts. That one just opened my eyes to something outrageous.

By "outrageous", I'll assume that your eyes were only burned by the tartan?

Thanks too, Mychael! It's definately an "eye catcher". The thing is so gawdy that it's cool!

Hey Bear... have you thought about wearing it with one of the older Vancouver Canucks jerseys or t-shirts? The yellow and black would match well.

You DO remember the Canucks, right? Those guys on that extended vacation.

It's not an extended vacation Jimmy, they are mostly over in Europe playing for a few thousand dollars a year, so that they can fight a salary cap of a couple million a year. Wankers.

Are you talking about the old V jerseys?

Home:

I was thinking more along these lines

[Jimmy Carbomb]

The latter one (Tony Tanti's #9?) is the one that I prefer. The old "V" model is just a little too funky for me. It's not like anyone needs a giant arrow pointing down to the kilt.

I already know (from experience) that it looks great with a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey.

I'd try it with a Penguins jersey, but I'd get shot around here!

EDITED: Okay... change the links to the actual pictures! I haven't thought of "Petrified" Skriko in years!

If the 'guins are a no go, I am surprised that a Steelers jersey is tolerated!

Heck, I thought everybody outside of Cleveland loved the Steelers!

As for the Steelers jersey in Philly... we'll see after next Sunday whether it's okay or not.
