My Stewart hunting philabeg arrived on Thursday...as usual Rocky was dead on. I was hoping the kilt would be at the house by Friday so I could debut it at the Dunnedin Highland Games and the timing was perfect. I can now semi-retire the sportkilt , I'll use it as a back up and around the house. Now for just a quick review, as if Rocky and Kelly needed any more good revirews. The kilt was a little big but that is my fault , I have lost a little weight since I ordered it. The pleats (or should I call them perma pleats?) are pleated to the yellow stripe and they are perfect. The little extras I requested were all done to perfection as well. I had larger belt loops put on and they fit my kilt belt perfectly. I also ordered it in the correct size to wear higher up at my "natural waist" instead of lower like a regular casual. I am a bigger guy and and even though I usually don't wear anything that high it was quite comfortable. I was on the field all day assisting the field judges and the kilt still looked great at the end of the day. I love the PV for a field kilt it stays cool and felt great. Now it's time to start stashing cash for a tank. Rocky if you read this I need some business cards ...several people asked me about the kilt, and with the crew I hang out with at these games you might be making some more "giant " kilts soon. I also debuted the Stillwater Nightstalker sporran and it will be my field sporran from now on, plenty of room for all my junk and lightweight as well. I had a 3/4 inch nylon strap that worked out perfect for a sporran belt. Anyway , I have rambled long enough, I just wanted to throw out a quick review.

Wait, wait. You have to give them time to finish the 3 on order for me and my sons and the one for my son-in-law to be for the wedding! No more reviews until AFTER they get mine done. Besides, I think they're at the point that they can do them with their eyes closed. I wore my Hay ancient and Ireland National casuals at a conference last month and got lots of compliments. On the plane rides, both ways, the guys sitting next to me remarked I had to be the most comfortable man on the flight as well as the best dressed.

Great review, looking forward to seeing some pictures.

Great review, but where are the pictures???

And on another note, how were the Dunedin games?

[Verlyn]

All done already!

Okay, now that's cool! I told Mike about it, so I suspect he'll be sitting in the driveway waiting on Friday when we get back since he asked me to bring his back with us. My sons are coming too to pick out their belts and see the shop.

Just another example of the service from Rocky and Kelly! See you two on Friday. Thank God its only two days away.

I'll get pictures as soon as I can . All I have access to right now is a crappy camera phone. The Dunedin games were great. I didn't compete this time but assisted the field judges all day . I did manage to get sunburned and did partake of some good single malt with a few of my athlete friends after the games were done. Rocky if you are reading this you will have another order coming soon and send me some business cards so I can pass them out to all my buddies. I gave the web address to several of them already.

Well, yesterday, my wife and sons and I made the trip to see Rocky and Kelly. As expected, the kilts were absolutely fabulous. Kelly and Rocky were concerned about the sizing (especially our "baby" whose 6'5" and has a 30" waist) and had the boys try theirs on. One adjustment on a buckle and were were done with the fitting. We got the semi-tradionals (3 kilts at once mandated that) and my future SIL got a premium that we picked up for him. My youngest son was, I think, the most impressed. He wore his when we got home for a couple of hours (I have to get used to it before the wedding so I wear it right). Both boys had to be told to make sure they put them away for now; after the wedding they can wear it whenever they want. All I can say is, as usual, Rocky and Kelly did an outstanding job. This with never having seen either boy before and going off of e-mail conversations with me and my wife taking the measurements. Perfect fit, perfect drape and flashes to match. We'll all look really sharp come the wedding. Thanks Rocky and Kelly for another fine job. Okay, you guys can send in your kilt orders now, the wedding kilts are done and delivered .
