You remember that contest for the free kilt a year ago?

I was the lucky winner of it, but being as I was in the midst of some physical improvement, my measurements were all over the board. So, this summer things had settled and I was ready to put an order in. Finally pulled the trigger by the middle of August, at which point they said that with the tartan I had chosen, it would be up to 12 weeks, which I more or less expected. The ordering process was simple (once I had worked out the time difference ), everyone was very nice and very helpful.

The big surprise was when I got my kilt a mere 4 weeks later. Luckily I happened to be home that day!

At any rate, here are the pics:

Front
Back
The Hamish

The Manley Richardson 8 yd.
Anderson (Green) Modern
Buckles -- traditional
Leather Straps -- Black
Metal for buckles -- chrome

My only problem now is the new kilt makes my belt look a bit sketchy . . .

That is a very fine looking kilt. I'm not sure about the "scetchy," I just think it looks great.

Good work on the physical redo. Whatever you did, it seems to have worked well for you.

Nice! Looking great mate! Very wow indeed. I haven't seen that tartan before.

I am one of the runners up and didn't claim my 25% off (a year has truly elapsed now). Believe it or not I'm only after one more item to complete my wardrobe... but I'm just not confident to order a made to measure jacket over the net. Just that little bit more tricky than ordering a kilt, me thinks.
