My Kilt finally arrived

**1mason** · 31st July 10, 05:58 PM

My MacPherson Red Muted finally arrived fro H.O.E. on Thursday night just in time for the Glengarry Games in Maxville Ontario. Here it is complete with my $15.00 work belt from Home Depot and the sporran I made for $40.00. Who says you have to spend a lot to accessorize a beautiful kilt.

That be a beautiful tartan for sure!

Stirs my wee bit of MacPherson blood.

Do give us a pleat shot so we can see the workmanship.

Thanks

Smashin'... cool, casual look and a smart kilt.

Very nice!!

A great looking kilt (would like to see the pleating though) and that shade of muted red is fantastic. The belt and sporran look good too. Can I ask, did you buy the kilt from House of Edgar direct or Tartankilts.com and how much did it cost?

Very good, all together!

Great kilt! I second the motion for a pleat shot.

Here's the rear view. (which is much wider than i remember it)

Bit of a breeze blowing there, but it does show the pleats (and the apron) off well.
Regards,
Mike

Handsome tartan indeed! Here's a little hint for your Home Depot belt. Go to a shoe repair shop and buy a bottle of Lincoln shoe dye (brown or black) and knock the color down a notch or two. It took me a couple of coats of dye followed by a little shoe polish to get the color I wanted. Be sure to let it all air out, set, and dry before wearing - I gave mine several days.

It ended up looking like this...
