    The Unveiling

    I've just returned from yet another trip to Victoria, visiting "Laird and Lady" Ashton. I picked up my Freedom Kilts kilt shirt so hang on boys and girls, here we go!!

    The KiltedKnome presents me with the shirt. I'd like to thank my wife, the academy......



    Next up, you can see why this shirt is GUARANTEED to stay tucked in.



    Properly adjusted, finally.



    Now, a shot of the cuff detail I had embroidered.




    Will this garment stand up to a "Hamish"? YOU BET!



    And even the extremely difficult double mirror image "Hamish". Also note in this pic (and the previous ones) I'm wearing my new SWK Saffron, the new Drebo tam and a just purchased Kidder lace sporran.



    And lastly, his lairdship, "It's NOT a skirt!!"





    Well, there you have it. Some of these will be duplicated on the Freedom Kilts site. Thanks for taking the time to go through these and all comments and/or suggestions will be appreciated.

    Nice touch with the cuff embroidering. It gives a cuff link effect.

    Nice looking shirt & kilt. I like the inside views of the shop. Please tell more about the shirt.

    Dang you're a handsome lad! (Not my type, you understand. I prefer them smaller, softer, and more feminine!) The shirt and saffron kilt together make for a striking outfit.

    I do love that shirt (and cuff especially), and I can imagine sitting on the cotton of the shirt rather than the wool of the kilt on a warm summer day.

    A very handsome garment. I love the cuffs.
