    Kilt for Our Welsh Brethren

    Whilst trawling the net for an illustration of the Welsh red dragon earlier, I came across this kilt (Note: not a cilt, but a kilt). Will we ever see Derek or Trefor (amongst others) sporting it I wonder:

    Hamish's Kilt Kollection? No, I think not!

    Well I am really not sure what to say about that, don't think it will grace my meager kollection anytime soon either.

    I know what to say. No offense to anyone from Wales, but that's ghastly...

    oi vey!! that thing is pretty...erm...."wild" to say the least.
    What's up with the two different colored belt loops? weird.

    You know what I'd love to see.....is a Welsh kilt that sorta looks like those Rampant Lion kilts.....or like that purplish thistle kilt of Robertson's.....that'd be cool. With
    the dragon woven right into the wool.
    Either a dark dark red on red, or a green on green.
    Inside me is a thin woman screaming to get out. But I can usually shut the b*tch up with chocolate!

    Being of part Welsh descent, I can only exclaim; "EEEW!"

    (They surely must be kidding around?).

    Beloit's Link though is interesting. (Now if SWK came up with those in Thrifty, I could get a different color for each day....)

    I like it. It's over the top, like Tartan Army gear. Leek Army kilt?
