    The end of a self-imposed Jones.

    As many of you know from a previous thread our own MacMan is an Accountant and orders a Kilt each year to celebrate the end of tax season and his being able to breath again.

    The problem is that David orders the Kilt early and then holds himself to a Self-Imposed Jones till all the work is done.

    this year David did his Jones in royal style. Not one but two Kilts.

    Now to me this is cruel and unusual punishment but hey what better a reward for finishing a long and exhausting job.



    Here is David arriving at the shop to end his Self-Imposed Jones.






    He wanted to try on his ACU Digital Camo Kilt first.
    This is a Cargo Model with 2 Side Slash Pockets.






    Here is the front of the ACU Kilt.





    David then wanted to try on his new Maple Leaf Tartan Model.
    he came out of the changing room with a big smile.





    Adjusting the sporran





    And a shot of the front.





    so what does a Kiltmaker do when a customer is happy with his product. Well gives him a cup of coffee for a toast of course.



    Congratulation David. You wear them well and have made me proud.

    Very, very nice.... It makes my desire for a Freedom Kilt that much harder to bear!

    It's even tougher when the US members do not know that the Canadian tax filing deadline is April 30!!

    It must have been a really busy tax season to require TWO kilts in order to recover...

    Congratulations, the kilts (and you) look really sharp. Of course, we want full disclosure of Anna's reactions to such finery.

    Self-imposed jones on two kilts? Does this mean they were ready, but he waited to pick them up until he was through tax season? Must be a man of steel.

    The kilts, once again, are amazing.
