Mr. Kilt's first tank.
As promised, here are some pics of my Ebay score. It's a traditional wool kilt made by Burnett's & Struth kiltmakers in Ontario, in the Gordon Modern tartan. This is my first "real" traditional kilt, and my first kilt purchase in over a year.

Very nice kilt bud, and if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for it on Ebay??? Because that's a very good find!

That looks great on you! I have to echo the above in saying that I too like the Gordon modern tartan as well.
Congrats on a good find! 
I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

Most excellent. It's a great tartan, the kilt looks like a fabulous fit and you look very distinguished in the outfit.

Congratulations Al it looks great on you, and speaking from experience Burnett's and Struth make a very good kilt I'm sure this one will give you years of wear, BTW nice tartan as well.

Thanks! Would you believe I snagged it for $119.00, shipped??  Definitely one of my better buys on Ebay! It was just chance that I even saw the listing as I haven't done a search for a kilt there in ages.

Thanks! It is a very well constructed kilt indeed. I just have to get used to the higher rise on it, seems quite odd compared to my other kilts.

Thanks! The pics are a little dark, but the hose are Lovatt Green with yellow flashes.
