Just ordered my second kilt

**Spartan Tartan** · 6th February 11, 03:19 PM

I finally pulled the trigger and ordered my second kilt. I went with the Navy (Edzell) tartan. I also ordered my sons firstkilt as well! Ever since I got my first kilt, he has asked when he would get his. So, now we jones together!

I realize that "No pictures means it didn't happen", so I will get pictures here as soon as I can.

Where did you order from? Some tailors don't have Edzell listed yet it seems to be available.

I know it's a difficult tartan to find available. I actually went with a sportkilt. I wanted something that could be more a "beater" kilt. I also liked that I could get matching for my son at a low price. I plan to have a Navy edzell wool kilt made when I save up a few more pennies.

My only other kilt is a full 8 yard "tank". It's pretty unique so I plan to use it for nicer occasions. I'll wear my tank TO the games, I'll wear the sportkilt if I'm IN the games...

that was fast! you must be taking to the kilted life well...

So far, so good. I like the idea of something more casual. I REALLY love my kilt, I also want to wear it while working around the house/yard or other such stuff that may not be so friendly to my expensive wool kilt.

I know the feeling of the problem of finding Edzell. My first two are SportKilts which was a great way to go but now I have a wool addiction. I'm looking at a few: Black Watch, Edzell, Firefighter Memorial, NFFF Firefighter Memorial, California, South Carolina, X Marks. So far I only have three: a wool Black Watch from Still Water and NFFF Memorial and Edzell from SK.

That is quite the list of desired kilts! I am hoping to someday get a wool Navy Edzell and possibly a Michigan Up North (wool also). My wife and I a likely to retire to South Carolina after the Navy...so who knows. For now, however, I think I'm good with a good wool kilt and my "working" kilt that is hopefully coming sooner than later.
