    First Shipment of Prom

    Ok, so I got my first shipment of prom in today. and I the second I am picking up at the post office as soon as I can.

    so heres what I got:
    SWK standard Blackwatch, and I am so happy to welcome my 4th kilt home!



    I decided to start it off the right way this time. so I test fitted and found that its like it was made for me. PERFECT fit! so I cleaned my counter and layed it all out, removed the basting stitches and went to work:





    With it I got a new kilt belt, a fly plaid, a broach, and a kilt pin.

    so what do ya do next? well I HAD to get pictures!
    First is classy but not formal, its just a white dress shirt and my arglye.


    now with the waistcoat


    addition of the fly plaid:


    and finally the leg up on something to see the pleats.


    So, the only thing I need now is a sporran which I will be getting later today. and then I should have some more pics then!

    I am overjoyed right now!

    Congratulations

    Congratulations , that was my first kilt, and it feels so great to wear, it really has a nice weight to it, unfortunately, for me I am a little short, so I always have to get my SWK’s hemmed.

    You will surely be the hit of the prom. Boy, my prom I wore white pants, and a peach colored sports coat, this was during the height of the TV show Miami Vice, and the prom was in California, I was the only one that broke away from the all black or all white tuxedo. Now I am dating myself.

    Have fun and be safe.
