First Full Traditional Kilt

Got my first full bore traditional kilt. I think I'm safe in calling a 16 oz box pleat military tartan kilt a traditional kilt. Barb Tewksbury made it up for me and it is gorgeous. 16 oz leatherneck tartan, Barb tells me she got the material from ebay made by a mill no longer in business. The fabric "hand" is wonderful, the fit is perfect. I know, I know, it didn't happen until I post pictures. I will get them up. With the argyle and waistcoat from Rocky, I'm gonna look GOOD! Thanks Barb!

Geoff--
I'm an absolute dunderhead when it come to posting pictures so I'm willing to wait patiently while you figure out how to do it!

Congratulations, as the proud owner of two Barb Tewksbury kilts I know how happy you must be. I look forwards to the photos.
