An interesting day about to unfold.
My mother and father are coming into town today for about a 10 day visit. I have started to wear kilts at least once a week recently and my folks are not really aware of this. I have sent pictures to them to show them the various ones in my closet, but I will be wearing my psuedo-black watch to meet them at the door this evening. This ought to be quite entertaining. Stories will follow tomorrow, I am sure!
(BTW, a little birdie told me yesterday that my IOS box pleat and the MacKinnon ancient hunting will be ready by the middle of May! Can I survive the jonesing?)

This one could get interesting, but they may suprise you with the reaction.

Can't wait to see that IOS box pleat.

Yeah, me too. My little birdie told me that it would be done in a week (or so), but the tank would not be ready for 2-3. So I am holding off on my trip to see Matt until both kilts are ready.. At the same time, I will be picking up 4 pair of special ordered Lewis hose (for my "Scottish, tree-trunk, calves" as Matt calls them) as well as sundry other items he has been holding onto for me....

I doubt you have anything to worry about. Seems you wear your kilts well, and know how to put together an outfit.

Why, yes they are. They were recommended by Matt way back in Jan. when I ordered the kilt. Your photos (as well as P1M's) certaily make it harder to wait on this thing!
