Finally, Flamingo Kilt Photos

Ok, as I have been promising Sydnie, here are some pics of my new Flamingo kilt. I like the fit, and it is rapidly becoming my favorite non-tartan kilt. I have worn it several times as of these photos,and it seems to be holding its creases very well.







Sydnie sized it just where i wanted, with all the adjustment to the smaller end, so I will get maximum use from it as I continue to lose weight.
Great communication, and delivered exactly as promised!

Highly recommended.


I would stand the pictures upright if I knew why they were sideways!

Congrats on losing the el-bees. It looks like a real keeper.
It appears right side up here. Although a little grainy, the picture depicts a well made garment.
Cheers

That is a darn nice looking kilt. A better quality picture would allow us to see more clearly but it looks great.

Geoff, thanks for the photos and the recommendation. I'm glad it is working out for you. I'll be ready WHEN you need the next version!

I like the wide pleats on this kilt...very masculine, a grand look.

Man, when I read "flamingo" kilt, I was really hoping for a bright pink kilt!

Thanks, Highlander. I generally adjust pleat size based on measurements, to keep things in proportion (larger kilt = wider pleats). Of course, I can also work to customer's preferences, if they have a specific look in mind.
