Hey guys, I thought the kilt hunters out there would want to see this

Too big for me a nd don't know what his reserve is but it looks like one very nice kilt.

That's a kilt for a tall man!!

Yikes, that IS a long kilt! I'm just thinking that I'm 5'-7" and wear a 22" length kilt. Proportioning it up to 27" length, that would be sized for a 6'-10" man.

If he states he spent $900 on this thing, I'm betting the reserve is pretty high.

Wait a minute, though. I may be confused on what I'm seeing in the pics, but it almost looks like this kilt has the fringe and double-buckles on the left side, not the right. Does it look backwards to anyone else, or am I just seeing it folded back over? That, coupled with the long length, makes me wonder if this is not a woman's kilted skirt.

I'm also having some trouble with the "Stewart morning" designation...

...perhaps he means Stewart Mourning? Which begs the question: why wear a mourning tartan to your wedding?

27 inches...even assuming a 3 inch rise...that's pretty long.

Well he states that the wedding didn't happen, so perhaps he was mourning his single life and the soon to be wife decided to ablige him..

Well then he was askin' for it!

When my cousin's wedding fell through, he took the money and went to Sweden for a month.

He had to either mis-measure his length or he has an extremely long torso and upper leg combination, because I am 6'5" and my length is 25.5-26 inches, and I even have a little extra length added above the fell because of my long torso. But just looking at the strap and buckle positions it does not look like there is any extra length above the waist.

Besides the extra cost of the Manley-Richardson build, he ordered a custom tartan in 16oz woven by Scotwebs proprietary weaver Glen Affric (hence the glena shorthand after the tartan name), and then paid $130 in customs/FEDEX charges, so I can believe that he spent nearly $1000 on the whole thing. Certainly not a common tartan.

You would think someone spending THAT kind of money on a custom outfit for a wedding would makesure they were going to be going through with it....

Trust me on this, I will have been marriewd 39 years one week from today. It ain't the cost of the wedding, even with a $1000 kilt, it's the upkeep!
