    No.77 in The Kilt Kollection has arrived

    Yes folks, No.77 was delivered yesterday morning (Saturday). This is the long-awaited 'Craig ancient' from Geoffrey (Tailor) in Edinburgh. A full 8-yarder in Strome weight, it is a beautiful tartan made up into an equally beautiful kilt.

    Here are the first photos, taken within minutes of my removing the basting stitches:

    I'd been looking forward to this one after you mentioned it some weeks ago. It's beautiful. I really really like that tartan. Congratulations Mr. Hamish.

    Hamish, I presume that this is not your first expensive kilt -- of the premium kiltmakers (Geoffry, Kinloch Anderson, etc), which do you find you prefer?

    A real work of art. The colours of that tartan go together beautiful. Congrats Hamish.
