Very nice, Rob! I hope to have the same kilt within a couple of weeks- my new XMarks kilt pin should look great on it.

KCW,
Nice looking outfit!
I like seeing the daily outfit...seeing all the kilts is nice and usually I get a few ideas for my own wardobe. 
Cheers

KKT, here you go. This was indoors with a flash at an angle to highlight the tartan pattern. When viewed head on, it is difficult to pick out the pattern.

I just received my green shadow tartan heavyweight from StillWater Kilts today myself. It's a nice kilt for the price, certainly, and because I'm shaped roughly normally (between my lower rib cage and knees, anyway) it fits almost as well as my custom built kilts.
The quality is pretty good for light duty - just the thing for hitting the various Irish pubs here in San Diego, or for St. Patrick's day. I'm pleased with the purchase.
Regards,
Scott Gilmore

Rob - faultless!
Tell me though: how do you manage to wear your X Marks kilt pin flat to the fabric? Mine droops forward alarmingly, well away from the fabric, and looks like it's about to fall off! In fact, I have stopped wearing it because I don't really have faith in the pin at the back either! It was from the very first batch.

Ham mine are from the first batch as well and I use an eraser from the end of a pencil to hold the pin in place and it keeps the pin flat as well.
