Kilted at Army Dinning in.
It all came together in the end. The Kilt from USA (Army Tartan) arrived in time. "Thanks Rocky, it looked great."
I finished the dressy sporran with the Army Eagle crest.
the buttons from four feathers arrived and i stitched them to the Jacket i bought on line (It came from a posting on X marks, but can't for the life of me remember the company.)
The US air flight problems forced me to fly Delta but i got there in the end With minimal delays. For those of you who are unfarmilliar with a Military Dinning in, i believe it has its roots in the brithsh Army. There are strict rules which must be obeyed. No drinking out of turn, all issues and complaints must be sent through the officer performing the duties of Mr. Vice and then to the presedent of the mess. The grog is a concocotion /combination of alcohols (and other ingredients) which all have significant meaning for the unit hosting the Dinning in. It is a great time, and provides a great sense of military tradition
The Kilted Gent on the left is a ret Col. he provided the invocation and benadiction as he is a lay minister. I wish I had a recording on his words they were inspiring.

Thats all for now, I will have more as folks get them to me. What a great time we had.

Very sharp look. The cantle you made is so classy in its simplicity.

Very sharp looking. I'll be envying you at our next dressy affair as I'll be in my blues and wishing I was kilted.
