    Starting to look out for Christmas trees



    Each year we go for a walk in the mountain and look for our next Christmas tree, before it snows !

    Looking good, sir! Gotta love that smile I hope you and your family are doing well! Best wishes, and thanks for sharing (and I hope you've spotted the tree you're wanting).

    Dear friends,

    It is a Rolled Military Box Pleated kilt made by my sweet Lady Chrystel , only for me...

    It is the Royal Canadian Air Force Tartan.

    Robert - I continue to be amazed at Lady Chrystel's workmanship. She's on my list of kiltmakers when I next have one made.

    Just for fun...

    Who has an extra $77 for almost 8 yards of 18oz Robertson tartan?

    Imagine what L.C. could make of it before Christmas ?

    Great pics, hard to believe Christmas is approaching again. That RCAF tartan kilt goes really well with the RCAF flight jacket.
    Please visit my Flickr albums of kilted guided tours of Scottish Borders Castles, also classic aeroplanes, steam trains, and vintage buses!
