No. 88 and No.89 have been added to The Kollection
Yes folks, my first new kilts since last January are here! I have not been slacking or ignoring my responsibilities - it was just that I have been trying to lose weight and did not want to buy new kilts that would be too large for me!
I do not have time right now to post reviews of either of these, but thought you might like to see the photos, so here they are:
No.88 comes from Geoffrey (Tailor) of Edinburgh and is pleated to the stripe in the gorgeous 'County Cavan' Irish tartan woven by the House of Edgar -
No.89 is from a new (to me) maker of contemporary kilts in the USA, 'AlphaKilts'. I have been asked to write a review of this, their 'Edinburgh' model, but all I will say at the moment is that it is extremely well-made and is very comfortable to wear although I've not yet had a chance to test drive it for more than a few minutes:
I will try to find time to write detailed reviews before I rush off to Scotland at the weekend, but time is in short supply at the moment!!
Take care,
Ham.

Wow I'm not even at kilt # 8.8 yet. That County Cavan really is a gorgeous tartan or is that because of the model showing it off at it's best?

My Cameron of Erracht in 19 oz was made by Geoffrey (Tailor) of Edinburgh and I'm very pleased with the quality. The County Cavan tartan is really handsome! Kilt #s 88 and 89 - you seem rather sett on wearing the kilt quite a bit, Hamish.

I love the Co. Cavan tartan! Well done.

This is my 28th kilt from Geoffrey (Tailor)/TFCK and, obviously, I rate them very highly as kiltmakers.
Yes, I do wear kilts "quite a bit", Jack. In fact, I have not worn trousers or shorts for over 9 years now, and do not own any at all.
Take care,
