| | | Hudson Bay Company tartan kilt
Back in late August or early September Steve posted a photo and e-mail about a Hudson Bay Company tartan that he had managed to track down. Much to the regret of my credit card I fell in love with it immediately and made arrangements with Steve to make a kilt in that tartan for me.
I just received it yesterday and it is a gorgeous kilt! Erin sewed it up and she did a magnificent job! So here are the obligatory photos.  
And now for a close-up picture of the tartan: 
And just in time for the cold weather, too!

A beautiful tartan. Congratulations on acquiring a very nice kilt. I like the subtle green, yellow and red lines with the dominant greya.
Well done Steve & Erin.

I do like that. What one needs to accompany that is an HBC blanket coat.

WOW! That tartan made an even better kilt than I imagined. Well done Erin.

Agreed! I'll have to try to locate a HBC store the next time I'm in the Burlington area. Which will be in September at the latest.

Although the picture I supplied is from a trading post in Wyoming!
