    One old, one new

    So, it has been awhile since I got my WPG Gordon kilt. When I got it, it was a bit snug in the seat. I removed the third strap, and now it's great!

    That is a vintage kilt pin, a family heirloom. I figured, my family tartan should go with my family kilt pin.

    The pleats:



    And from the Chicago Highland Games, FULL argyle kilt hose!


    The kilt is a Hunting Stuart from FC. The kilt hose (which match perfectly) were, get this, $35!!!


    $300+ value, for only $35!

    Nice shots Greg, congratulations on the hose, as one who has the Gordon kilt, I'll bet it will get much more wear this winter.

    You look fantastic in both of those pics, Greg. Congratulations on the two fantastic Kilts.
    And the great Kilt Hose.


    By the way, since I know you have some fantastic Kilts, how do you feel about the quality of the FC Kilt? I am tempted to get one in the Macdonald Modern Dress, but I am leery in case it is as bad as some of the folk on here have said.

    Cool pics. I particularly like your belt. It's massive. Where'd you get it?

    Hey Beloit,

    Thanks for sharing the pictures, and grats on the great deal on the hose. It was nice to get to meet you at the Highland Games. BTW great job on the jacket you were wearing that day, it looked great!
