    Talking My very first kilt!

    Hi

    I got my very first kilt measured a couple of weeks ago at Geoffrey (tailor) in Edinburgh. It's a 8 yard, 16 oz. Ancient Hunting Robertson with a 21st Century pin. It'll probably be delivered by the end of september. I'm so happy!
    I'm going to wear it to school (I'm 17) and rock concerts and festivals. I just can't wait till I can finally wear it!
    Pictures will be posted, of course

    Way to go and a fine choice of tartan. Good to see someone your age getting into the kilt thing. Hope that your fellow students find it as cool as it is and that you'll find a few converts among them.

    Wow nice tartan and a fine kilt maker, you have started out right.

    Thumbs up Way to go!



    I want to second that opinion! I have two kilts from them and find their service first rate.

    What a way to start the kilted life with a Robertson hunting from Geoffry Taylors!
    Way to go, Mark!
