    Another New Carolina Kilt Arrives

    Soft knock on door (curious as I have a doorbell); dog barks (easily heard English Mastiff); as I open the door I see a FEDEX truck roaring away down the road---OK, cut to the chase--it's here and I'm loving it!!





    That's it folks. So when do I learn the secret Carolina handshake??

    Congratulations, we went over the handshake at the Loch Norman Games last year, the next time we're down I'll be sure to show you.

    Congrats! Quite a popular tartan. If I lived in NC, I would have one too.

    Ah-ha! I wondered what made that FedEx truck glow as it passed my way! I'm glad you got yours in time to wear to First Night in a couple of days. It's a beauty, as expected.

    Thumbs up

    I'm with McMurdo...we'll have to show you the handshake.

    Boy, with all the Carolina's that are showing up lately Dalgiesh must be running the looms overtime. Not to mention poor Matt's fingers!

    Looks very sweet.

    Actually, we still have some material in stock from the last bolt I had run up. If anyone wants a Carolina kilt, now's the time!
    http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/carolina_items.html
    We have the cloth listed here at $75/yd for the heavy weight wool, like this kilt was made from. And all of our kilts (8 yard, box pleated, or casual) can be ordered in this tartan at the standard heavy weight price, till this bolt runs out.
