    Now it's the turn of No.93

    Yes, No.93 in The Kilt Kollection was safely delivered yesterday from Geoffrey (Tailor) Ltd of Edinburgh and, of course, I am thrilled with it. Actually, I have been waiting for a while for this one but weaving problems at the House of Edgar mill held everything up for several weeks. Still, I have it now and, as has often been said, good things are worth waiting for!

    What is it then? Well, I have long wanted a pretty much all-green tartan and finally settled on the Galloway Hunting tartan in muted colours - the modern colours being far too strident for my liking. This is also known as the Galloway Green - ITI No. 1467. So here it is, my latest 13oz, 8 yard kilt.

    First, worn with my lovat green Braemar jacket (quite a while since that has seen the light of day!):




    and then the required pleat shot:




    Finally, an image showing how well my all-green Freelander sporran, together with the green belt and sporran strap gifted to me by McMurdo**, works with this fine District tartan.



    (**Sorry Glen but I interchanged the brass buckle with a chrome one for this ensemble - I think you'll agree it looks better to have co-ordinated metalware as well! )

    Advance notice: No.94 is due in 10-14 days!

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Hamish, what's your size? I may have to gather the rabble and make a kilt raid!

    Ah so thats what you wanted the green belt and sporran strap for.
    Another quality kilt, Hamish, you look really suave in it and you are truly a kilt connoisseur.
    Wishing you health to wear it.

    Hamish,

    I really like the Hunting tartans in muted colors, and you wear this kilt with dignity, you could and should be an ambassador for all clans.

    Congratulations, Hamish!
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    The other day, I went looking through your threads looking for a picture of you in a predominately green tartan (I needed to see a good green kilt outfit). If I had only known to wait a couple of days, I wouldn't have searched through those thirty-some kilts.

    Another beautiful addition to the Kollection.
    I am easily moved for sympathy for dogs, far more so than for humans, because dogs do not understand. There is no way to explain that you will return, that the vet will make it all better, that they cannot go shooting today because that is not what today is about. They cannot work out that their misery is finite and will some time end, and so their misery is magnified.
