    Photos finally!

    Having received an excellent Double Box pleated Kilt, a bias-cut waistcoat, and a fly plaid from Lady Chrystel I am very pleased with Robert and Her quality, craftsmanship, service, communication, patience and friendship. I wear each of my articles as often as possible including to church nearly as often as a suit. I Also requested a Sporran from Thorfinn Custom Sporrans, by Turpin Ballard. It is black buffalo with leather, and two tartan flaps. His skill with leather produces the finest leather Item I have ever felt. I am highly pleased with it. Also I have a hand made leather and Tartan Sporran notebook timelessly crafted by Mr Paul Henry. It fits flawlessly with the rest of my ensemble. While I am still building my collection of Kilt kit, here are some long overdue pictures of myself with family or friends kilted.
    Receiving my package.

    Myself and my 3rd child Zane.

    Visiting my parents and two older Children Austin and Samantha.

    and my wife Dana and I at the 2011 United States Marine Corps Ball at III MEF Okinawa Japan.

    can't find the photo of my notebook, will find it and post soon.

    Edit: Fixed the links I think. Now I has a photobucket.

    Excellent photos. Austin sure looks proud of his kilt in the photo of you two together. A future US Marine from the looks of him

    Well done
