A bargain kilt

[Graham]

Heading back to Melbourne I spyed a sign to a Scottish shop in the town of Gordon

Long story short, I knew the owner and when the conversation got to kilts he pulled his kilt out of the drawer he had it stuffed in (horrors), a lovely wool Sutherland tartan.
He lamented that it didn't fit him any more, I asked if he would sell it, and YES for $20!!!!! (about 15 in your money)

A dry clean and press and it will be perfect, it fits well too.

I'll post a piccie when I get home.
I'm back on the ferry tonight, so if you have nae caught up with me on posts - this is your last chance

........ $20!!!!! (about 15 in your money)

Umm! whose money would that be then, Gray? We are not all Americans you know! ;););)

Well done, on the 'find' though - that's about £8.50 in real money!! Is it that gorgeous green and grey District tartan by any chance?

Graham, you lucky dog you. Congrats on the find.

[Steeplechase]

$20? $20 ? What you got on him there Graham? Sounds like a little blackmail.


Congrats on the find.

You lucky dog!! A kilt at that price should have you running out to buy lottery tickets ('cuz you're so frikkin' lucky). Color me :mrgreen:.

Bryan...is that the Sutherland clan or Sutherland district? I've always loved the Sutherland district tartan...

Congratulations on the find! It doesn't get any better. :grin:

[Graham]

thanks all, Hamish, I'm not sure what particular tartan it is, someone might enlighten me when I get to posting the photo.

Not only to find but it fits also.

What a score.

I guess we all need to keep a look out.
