    Paging Dr. Jones

    Well, I just won the kilt I've been eyeing on ebay.
    A 22oz, military box pleat Black Watch.

    Now to wait for delivery and then have it altered to my length.

    The pictures from Ebay will just have to do for now...

    Very cool Arlen congratulations. I need to look into something like that Canada gets cold in the winter.

    Wonderful find but it looks as though the straps need attention. that would be a small price for a wonderful 22oz MOD kilt.

    Luckily I have a small box full of spare straps and buckles.

    It looks to be a great kilt and from what I've seen the Military kilts are very, very nice.

    Can't wait to get it fitted and take it on a test run.


    Glen, I'll let you know how warm it keeps me back in Idaho. Though to be honest, I was too warm most of the time it snowed there.

    Well if it's too warm for you, you could always send it up here with the Argyll hose I promise to give it a good home.
