    And there's more .....

    Just had a nice spate of gigs which has allowed me to purchase a further two cilts .... once again they are immaculate and both fit perfect ..
    The first is a Grey Spirit 16oz 8yd wool .. ex hire




    And the second is a Monarch of the Glen 13oz 8yd wool .. This cilt is in fact brand new .. it was made for someone who paid a deposit and never returned to collect it. It has been in the Kiltmakers possession for over two years. I just happened by chance to phone the right place at the right time. This has to be my best buy of the lot .... the lady who made it has paid attention to every detail n left no stone unturned.





    This brings the number of Cilts I have to 6 .... its gonna be very hard but I gotta stop buying .. or try too !

    Fantastic, Derek! I'm envious you're able to get all the ex-hires and sales. Not only have you picked up a bunch of kilts, but you've picked up a bunch of GOOD kilts! Bravo my friend!

    Well done Derek! Very nice kilts, I am not familiar with the Monarch of the Glen. Beautiful.

    Congratulations Derek it really is worth it to wait for quality isn't it.
