Aren't those the sneakers that let you, "run faster, jump higher" (as claimed in the 1960's TV advertisements?

 Demonstrating the swish!
@Lady Grey, interested to know why you chose the Laxey Manx tartan? Do you have a tie to the IOM? My sister lives quite close to Laxey, but I never knew about the tartan before.

If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

Hi tpa
Sorry for the late reply.... I’m in sunny Honolulu for a few days before heading home and I’ve only just caught up with the forum
My surname is Manx, my great great grandparents came to Australia from Port St Mary in the south along with lots of cousins and widowed aunts. I’m also related to many of the the Quayle’s and Fargher’s.
My great grandmother was a McKinnon from Tobermory on Mull in the highlands, so I also have that connection however I don’t like the McKinnon tartan so the Manx was the oblivious choice.
John from Laxey Woollen Mills was wonderful to deal with and sold me the kilt weight with a kilt selvedge that isn’t listed on the website but available.
There is also a great book available about the history of the Mill.
My main problem was how to pleat?
I don’t like to the white stripe nor the yellow, to the blue stripe was average.
If I had attempted to pleat to the sett the hysteria and tantrums at Kamp would have been legendary (and not in a good way)
The wonderful Barb came to rescue with the pleat idea which I adore.

Dear Lady Grey. I am seldom surprised by much these days, but love when you peak my interest. I love the pleating of your kilt and how it ties the entire tartan together. Thanks for the inspiration.
