New 10yd Ancient Old Stewart kilt
Went up town today with my wife & Grandson wearing my new 10yd Ancient Old Stewart kilt, thought you might like to see it. Its my winter kilt, I am not saying its heavy, but it take two of us to put it on
Outside my house, trying the Dearstalker out with the outfit
This is me & my grandson at the statue of Jimmy Dyer, a well known busker around Carlisle in bygone days, it is in the Lanes Shopping centre.
I thought you might like to see the pleats.
The pictures are not great, but it gives the general look.

It looks good but the pictures don't give a feeling of moving pleats. They look solid like a new kilt w/o the basting stitches removed. I'm sure it looks less structured in motion. O'Neille
Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear; seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come. --William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

As I'm not up to speed on kilt making, is it ten yards because it has deeper pleats or more pleats? :confused: My kilt is going to be around nine yards but that's because I am a big laddie, you're not that big.
The kilt looks absolutely magnificient by the way. You wear it well too!

Temps must have moderated for you to go our in an artic expedition kilt. That pleating is first rate - the sett matching is superb.

No one could stand within a yard of me when I walk, or they will get knocked over, It swings superbly
