    kilt number 13 arrived today

    since I last posted, I have 3 new kilts
    1 black and 1 hunting stewart, local kilt shop, $120 each
    1 modern Gunn, ordered from scotish lion in nova scotia.
    from a guy who was a regimental kilt maker BUT it came from Lochcarron in scotland,very nice kilt, made to measure, well made, but I'm rather disappointed, thought I was getting a kilt made in Canada.

    13 is an unlucky number! You'll need to order another kilt asap!

    Congrats on the kilts, shame about the it not being what you thought. Good excuse to buy another kilt though!

    Have you finally overcome your aversion to wool!?

    (Good to see you safely back from your trip to the east coast. BTW.)

    PhilH, McClef, 13's an unlucky number. You will each need to order a fourteenth!
