| | | My new USAF camouflage kilt
I have been in Iraq now for two months, and have recently acquired a new kilt in the US Air Force tiger-stripe camouflage pattern. I used a web-belt and medical pouch for the kilt belt and sporran, and the balmoral is a desert tan. I also received my Dunbar bagpipes just a few days ago! I'm all set now!   |

Here's my ABU kilt. Love the fabric.

Thank you for your service and congrats on the kilt and the pipes. What do you do? I did an edged weapons course for some DAGRE guys at Hurlburt Field in 2007.
Tartan Hiker, I like the velcro in the pin area for drive on patches. Well done.

Tiger stripe is back!!?? How cool is that? A sharp look.
Who sewed up the kilt? or, where'd it come from?

The kilt was made by "Sport Kilt" and is actually a standard cloth pattern they keep in stock now I'm still not very good at the pipes, but no one has complained or told me to stop practicing yet, lol. I've got a friend here who is a photographer, so hopefully I will have some more (and better) pictures to post soon. And in response to you question mercop, I am an analyst.
