    Not your usual headwear for highland attire...

    I had the pleasure of attending a Mat Mitzvah this weekend. Now my friend Kent and I have often been refered to as "The Bobbsie Twins" since we often wear similar attire to events. We decided on this day to have a bit of fun with this and create complimentary, yet not completely matching outfits featuring the Isle of Skye tartan.


    Everyone loved our purple and green kilted finery



    The topper was that Kent provided matching tartan yarmulkes made for him by our talented friend Richard.





    It was a wonderful celebration and we greatly honored to be there.

    Looks like you two pulled that off with ease.

    I can tell I've spent too many years with my friend, Mr. Kiwi,...the first thing I noticed, was the shine on your shoes.

    I love the kaleidoscope effect. Would your friend share his schematic?

    Good on YOU!

    Your independent, bold culture-melding is what does much to bring the kilt into mainstream wear!

    Outstanding, gentlemen. You pulled off an impressive sartorial statement in a way that just speaks of fun. Cheers to both of you.

    My question is, are those tartan yarmulkes pleated to sett or to stripe?

    Lookin' great either way, a novel way to get two cultures together in harmony.

    I made a kippah for my brother, but the pattern wasn't very good and it came out a little pointy. I've been looking for a better pattern since. Is there any chance you could let me in on which pattern was used for this or indeed any good one? I would be grateful. They look quite nice.
