Verrrrrry easy on the eyes Ham - another successful kilt launching!

Nice tartan. Completes a very nice look.

Beautiful Ham.

(**Sorry Glen but I interchanged the brass buckle with a chrome one for this ensemble - I think you'll agree it looks better to have co-ordinated metalware as well! )

Advance notice: No.94 is due in 10-14 days!

Take care,
Ham.

Absolutely Right Ham, it looks wonderful, sorry I missed you on Skype last night, but there was quite a bit of snow.

Hi Mark,

A fair question - one that's been asked several times, but maybe not here.

Well, it's simple really. I seldom plan the previous day but leave decisions until the morning dawns (it was the same when I was working in pinstripe or chalkstripe suits all those 40-odd years - could not select shirt and tie until the day of wearing!). Nowadays, so much depends upon a) where I am going (eg: the nature of the event or occasion), b) the weather, c) my mood, and probably most importantly d) which shirts are clean and ironed. Sometimes the kilt is chosen to co-ordinate with a particular shirt or jacket!

I try not to have favourites, but inevitably some will be selected more often than others because they are more comfortable, or they have a better 'swing', etc.

It does seem to be the case that the more kilts one has, the more difficult it is to make a choice. It's not unknown for me to be getting ready to go out and, after maybe ten minutes of dithering, I decide that I really have nothing to wear!!! It's true.

Take care,
Ham.

Another beautiful tartan. What a great job of coordinating an outfit. As Always I am in awe.

My collection of 27 kilts pales in comparison, but I actually keep mine on a computer spreadsheet classified by material, best temperature range, last date worn, and last date cleaned . Today's kilt is a 16 oz wool, 5 yd Irish National. Tomorrow's is a 16 oz wool, 8 yd Black Watch (colder tomorrow.) What can I say? I was a manager of industrial engineering before I went on full disability .

Robin Hood, you're kilted!!

Perfect as usual my friend. When oh when are you going to write "Hamish on Kilting"??????

Thompson needs an update and you sir, are the man to do it.

Robin Hood, you're kilted!!

No,no, Ron! Graham is the one with the green tights, not me!

Perfect as usual my friend. When oh when are you going to write "Hamish on Kilting"??????

Ron

Very kind of you to say so, Ron, and I agree that Thompson DOES indeed need an update - a lot of what he suggests is positively Prehistoric!! However, we have two comparatively recently written works which are doing far more good than ever I could: Matt Newsome and Nick Fiddes are the brilliant authors.

My hope is that my forthcoming website will have provision for me to include "Hints and Wrinkles", FAQ, etc., etc., sections, but that's all - apart from the Photo Gallery, of course!

Take care,
Ham.

What a beautiful tartan, i have always wanted to see a kilt made of it. Excellent choice sir!

You look as sharp as always, Ham. Thanks for a look at #93.
