Piping at Elmwood

looking grand

Ah, very smart looking, piper! I'm glad you wore the black-and-red diced hose with the BW. I have both, but have so far only worn those hose with my MacGregor kilt. But, now that I see that the BW kilt-BnW hose combo looks good, I'll copy you.

Memphis' Elmwood Cemetery is such an historic treasure: www.elmwoodcemetery.org . Tours are conducted regularly.

Over 70,000 burials, including veterans from the Revolutionary War to present. Twenty CSA generals too. Still lotsa spaces left too. Many of the Victorian monuments are absolutely priceless in terms of value and grandeur.

I pipe several funerals there annually. It's the only cemetery I take my time leaving when the job's over.

Slainte yall,
steve

My grandparents and uncle, who died in an air battle during WWII, are buried there.

:I have ordered my own Doublet to wear for MPD (at my own expense) and can't wait till it comes in.

From where, please??

I ordered the Doublet from Ian at Glenngary hats.com.
I even had the chance to speak with him on the phone to make sure that the measurements were just right.
I ordered it in Navy blue with gold trim and silver cording. The cuffs and collar as well as the epulets will be black ,and the buttons will be gold. Not a sharp contrast yet it will be striking.
Now i need a full pipers plaid BW and feather bonnet.and it will be complete.
Let me know your grandfathers name and I will find his site and send some photos.

As you know, I pm-ed you with the names. Thanks for the info on the doublet. Were you influenced by Steve? Let us know how it fits.

Looking very, very sharp, there!
The Military box pleat is just beautiful. I wore mine for days after I first got it. Aren't they just so comfortable?

I'm impressed with your embroidery.

Very very nice Mark. Will you be wearing that when you pipe for us again at Caerlaverock Castle next January?
