It's a good weekend!

[pbpersson]

Why is it a good weekend? Well, for one thing I am four kilts richer.

I now guage my success in life not by the size of my house, the size of my bank account, or how fancy my car is. In my mind, the one who dies with the most kilts wins. I think this means that Hamish is the ultimate success story.

Anyway, between yesterday and today this is what has arrived:

I Union Kilts Blue Denim
1 UK Original (black)
2 UK Mockers (black and tan)

I am not going to go out for my weekend mall walk because last night I went out for a monster two hour walk and killed my feet. Oh...and I broke a bunch of rules for my walk. I was told to only wear a Mocker for special occassions and then wear it with a sporran so everyone knows it is a kilt. Well, I went for my two hour walk with my Heather Gray Mocker with no sporran just because I think it's so comfortable and I thought it would be fun.

However, this morning I did several errands:

1. Got the car serviced, walked all over the dealership while I was waiting. I never would have noticed had I not been wearing a kilt, but they had a perfectly mirror finish floor in that place - very light tile but still......
2. Went to the post office to pick up my new denim kilt. The Asian woman waiting on me brought the package from the back and said,
"This is really heavy but soft....like maybe a coat or jacket."
"Actually, it's a new denim kilt"
"Oh....how cool is that!" "But..... (looks confused) ....it wouldn't have any tartan?"
"No....well, I'm wearing a black kilt now"
"OH! I didn't even notice!" (I step away from the counter so she can see)
"This one is made in Seattle but the one you have there is made in England"
3. Went to the store to get more laundry detergent so I can wash all these kilts. I'm at the checkout and the guy at the register points to my kilt
"So....what is the special occassion....or is this what you always wear?"
(I give him a big smile) "This is what I always wear on the weekend because it's so comfortable"

So now I'm going to stay in, wash my new kilts, clean the apartment a little, and maybe take a recliner nap in one of my new kilts. It's a good weekend....

I would be interested in seeing a picture or two of the Union Kilts Blue Denim kilt. Please.

I'm sorry, right now the new kilt is otherwise engaged - I am washing it several times to maybe soften it up a bit.

Digital cameras are great things and I can get you lots of pictures.

Do you want those on a human body, not on a human body, just laying on a flat surface, front, back, side, outside surface, inside surface????

State your photographic preferences now....

Nice! I've been wearing my AK since I got it on Monday. Washed it once, washing it again tonight. I'm expecting a USAK casual in about a week, and already thinking about ordering another . . .

I just cannot wear trousers any more. Closest I've come is a pair of shorts I wear around the house in the evening, which leaves me wanting to get a "house-kilt" or one of the nice Irish night shirts.

Holy crap, I'm obsessed

Who told you this, and why. Wear a modker when ever you want, and sporrans aren't necessicary.

I have spoken, so mote it be.

I agree, wear the mocker wherever you want. I have noticed though that the heather grey is harder to dress down. And I would never wear a sporran with a UK. Just no reason.

I have noticed though that the heather grey is harder to dress down.

Someone told me that when ordering UKs every fabric has a certain personality to it. The Heather Grey to me seems the lightest and softest UK I have so far...and as I recall even before I washed it the fabric seemed really special.

On a human body would be nice, but not mandatory. I am mainly interested in seeing the pleating and an overall view of the front.

They do have some nice pictures on the Union Kilts web site. However, I did post pictures of mine in the Union Kilts section of this web site, along with questions about how to get the fabric to soften.
