    One simple place to start for a physical copy is HERE, it's Lovecraft's complete fiction for under $20.

    Re: Cthulhu Kilts

    It is my turn to unveil the horror of my newest kilt.

    When collecting it from the post office (for I had to sign for it), the postmaster informed me that his contact in customs advised him the package gave off a dark menace and that the drugs dogs whimpered and backed away from it.

    I brought it home and carefully began to unwrap it...


    Paul had tried his best to reduce the waves of dread and unease it emanated with a bespoke bag...


    I asked for a paisley lining, but have not seen what he chose until today. It's splendid! Totally in keeping with the style of the 20s and 30s...


    We are, unfortunately, in the midst of moving house, so I have carefully bagged the kilt back up and will keep it safe for a week or so before trying it on.

    Thank you Paul! It looks fabulous and I can't wait to try it on!!

    Don't know how I missed this, but what I can see of the kilt looks awesome- that lining is really fantastic.

    Can't wait to se the Evil worn. :cthulhusmiley:

    Re: Cthulhu Kilts

    Congratulations SR, now the evil has come to our shores. I really thought I had briefed Aussie Customs enough so that they would have detected it immediately and put up the defensive barriers.

    Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh,

    Re: Cthulhu Kilts

    Been working with Barb yesterday and today to finalize the details so I can say "Let the Jonesing begin!"

    Amy went with a more modern wear of a couple inches below her naval with the box pleat done to the sett flipping the apron. I am going with a standard box pleat done to the strip on the green -



    There will be enough left over to send to Rocky for a waistcoat done on the bias.

    And of course the scraps will be used for a kilt for the Cthulhu plush kilt. May have to check with Ryan to get a bonnet for him

    Re: Cthulhu Kilts

    Since I had a moment, and in the interest of keeping enthusiasm for all of these impending kilts going, thought I'd show how this tartan looks with brown leather:



    For easy comparison, here it is with black:



    With almost all tartans, I tend to think that they look better with either black or brown leather. Thanks to Scott's very thoughtful design, and all the work that went into getting the actual yardage just right, I find it difficult or impossible to say wether I like it better with brown or black. It looks awesome with both.

    Love the black sporran, it looks like Sauron from Lord of the Rings is watching me with that evil eye...
