    Here are some quick pics after work and before a meeting. The camera just can't capture the beauty of the bluebonnet/lilac-like color. Its a beauty though. Getcha one if you haven't already ordered up.







    Craftsmanship is perfect as always. This is my 26th USA Kilts kilt...when you have a winner you push out all the chips.

    Was out hiking today and wore the Texas Bluebonnet tartan got some pics in the morning light which I think shows the color better.

    First, one taken last night which shows the color in afternoon light too.







    So, hopefully, these three pics show the color a bit better - depending on your monitor of course...and mine.

    Thumbs up Woo Hoo !

    So I'm out running some errands this afternoon, and my wife calls to say she won't see me when I get home because going to dinner with her sewing friends, etc.. then she sends me this photo;

    Yep, a box from USA Kilts!

    And here we are! This is a shot of the pleats while I'm pressing the shipping wrinkles out.


    It's fits perfect and is a thing of beauty, Rocky's work is great as usual. This tartan has been on my list since before I really had a list, so I am very happy and proud to own this kilt. I'll strap it on and get some proper photos when my wife gets back!

    Thank you Rocky, for another lovely kilt!

    Man, the picture captures the color a lot better than I've been able to. That's it!

    Thumbs up Texas Tartan Photos

    Please forgive the delay in getting some some pictures of me wearing my Bluebonnet kilt! But we've had what we euphemistically refer to as a "busy day" around here for the last few days, including a computer crash yesterday!

    Anyways, here's some mug shots I did with the timer, hopefully we'll get some outdoor ones soon, I think he tartan's colors look better in natural light.


    fore,


    and aft...

    I told my wife I already had every accessory I'd need to go with this tartan, but after seeing it with that navy blue shirt, I guess I'll order up some navy hose and flashes!
