Now it's the turn of No.93
Yes, No.93 in The Kilt Kollection was safely delivered yesterday from Geoffrey (Tailor) Ltd of Edinburgh and, of course, I am thrilled with it. Actually, I have been waiting for a while for this one but weaving problems at the House of Edgar mill held everything up for several weeks. Still, I have it now and, as has often been said, good things are worth waiting for!
What is it then? Well, I have long wanted a pretty much all-green tartan and finally settled on the Galloway Hunting tartan in muted colours - the modern colours being far too strident for my liking. This is also known as the Galloway Green - ITI No. 1467. So here it is, my latest 13oz, 8 yard kilt.
First, worn with my lovat green Braemar jacket (quite a while since that has seen the light of day!):
and then the required pleat shot:
Finally, an image showing how well my all-green Freelander sporran, together with the green belt and sporran strap gifted to me by McMurdo**, works with this fine District tartan.
(**Sorry Glen but I interchanged the brass buckle with a chrome one for this ensemble - I think you'll agree it looks better to have co-ordinated metalware as well!  )
Advance notice: No.94 is due in 10-14 days!
Take care,
Ham.

Hamish, what's your size? I may have to gather the rabble and make a kilt raid!

Ah so thats what you wanted the green belt and sporran strap for.
Another quality kilt, Hamish, you look really suave in it and you are truly a kilt connoisseur.
Wishing you health to wear it.

Hamish,
I really like the Hunting tartans in muted colors, and you wear this kilt with dignity, you could and should be an ambassador for all clans.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

The other day, I went looking through your threads looking for a picture of you in a predominately green tartan (I needed to see a good green kilt outfit). If I had only known to wait a couple of days, I wouldn't have searched through those thirty-some kilts.
Another beautiful addition to the Kollection.
