    Ham,
    That would be a Grand Tartan, quite possibly becoming as popular as IOS

    Congratulations on a stunning kilt! As always thanks for providing the fashion guidance to us new kilt wearers.

    Hamish, I have a question.

    Saturday watching my friends son play a soccer match I was approached by a Lady with a U.K. accent (perhaps Manchester?) asking me what tartan I was wearing and what my family affiliation to it was. With all the lovely tartans you wear, are you ever challenged by the "Tartan Police , volunteer reserve division"?

    Just Curious. And a bit jealous of that kilt, very striking.

    Actually, no! I do not believe I have ever been questioned about my connections with any clan or tartan although I suppose that very rarely someone will ask, "What is that tartan?", but they do not press further questions. I find that no-one really takes much notice of my kilts thesedays.

    Maybe because the British have manners and we Americans don't?

    Very nice kilt, Hamish, and very nicely modelled! I love your black sweater, too!

    Hamish, that's a beautiful kilt! But, if you keep this up, we'll never be able to "catch up" (82 kilts?) with you

    Looking very smart, Hamish.
    A beautiful kilt which I am sure you will want to wear often, but collecting kilts is like collecting cars, you can only wear or drive one at a time.

    That's brilliant! Thanks for the photos. It's always nice to see how many ways you can work the same kilt with different shirts and sweaters. Great pictures.

    Congratulations, Hamish!

    A fantastic looking kilt & a remarkable accomplishment acquiring your 82nd kilt.

    I'm quite impressed at how you were able to so perfectly match your polo shirt to the muted red in the tartan.

    You're a hard act to follow!
