    Another one to Newsome

    Today Fedex came to my house with a package (I had been looking outside the window the entire evening). Been waiting since late December and couldn't be any happier (Ok, with winning lottery tickets I could).

    With the double width 4 yard Morrison green I've had for a while, I made two 4 yard casuals, one for me and the other for my bro, (same dimensions).

    I'm extremely happy with it, they fit great too! A lot lighter than the 18oz 8 yd military kilt I've been wearing, a lot more comfortable two. Its a skosh loose but nothing my belt can't handle.

    I promise I'll get pics, but I told my bro we'd do it together so it will have to wait till the weekend.

    Thank you Scottish Tartan Museum, you have a new patron.

    It looks like a kilt wearing Skwisgaar Skwigelf and Toki Wartooth.

    Great looking kilts!

    Now that's neo-traditional !! Good looking kilts and great pics! Love those hats and sporrans. Nice ride, too. Oh, to be that thin again. :-)

    Not sure who is who, but whichever one of you is wearing that bonnet: you wear it well! Love the look.

    I do think, however, that sporran hangers are better suited to men of substance for whom traditional sporran straps are inconvenient. This one seems to be pulling the whole belt down with it.

    Thanks, I'm the one on the left with the tam/bonnet, got it at the recent loch norman highland games.


    I'm thinking about getting a sporran belt as it does pull it down quite often. Next thing to get then.
