What a great looking kilt, and to be able to pick it up from Mrs. Tewksbury herself!  The pictures of the kilt in progress were very interesting as was your story, thanks for sharing. I'm sure you'll wear it with pride. BTW great job Mrs. Tewksbury.

Display it proudly, for both the tartan and the kilt are a work of art. Ah to have the wealth for a new tank for the expanded me. Please do not outgrow the kilt, it looks great on you.

*so jealous* | Cloves hanging out with Barb was the best part, you have no idea, but you could go down to kilt camp and find out how amazing she is for yourself.

That is one BEAUT of a kilt. I love that tartan. I wish I had some ties to it so I could wear it myself (I am aware that there are no kilt police, but personally I enjoy having some claim to a tartan). Great kilt, great tartan. Congrats!

Glen, that really is gorgeous! I'm especially glad that Barb was able to stay away from maple whisky long enough to get the pleats in straight! (sorry 'bout that Barb  )
