    Pleating to the Lion

    First off, LESS THAN A WEEK UNTIL MY FIRST KILT ARRIVES.

    Now to the main topic, I'm not sure if it has been brought up before but I recently found this kilt and think it's kind of a nice design.

    Something is definately different about pleating a kilt to the Lion and I really like the colour scheme.

    I do love that Lion, but would expect anything less from a Cat(dad)?

    That is certainly unique. So is this kilt your first, or are you just looking at it?

    My Kilt

    So is this kilt your first, or are you just looking at it?
    No I've already ordered my kilt, an 8 yard American Heritage pleated to the red stripe.


    I just thought this was something a little different, I've seen the saltire kilt before but never one that could be pleated to the Lion so I thought some people here might be interested, works well as it's a nice coloured tartan and the lion is quite subtle. Perhaps not suitable for the most formal of occasions but nice non the less. Shame you can buy a tank for the price of it.

    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.

    It appears on the website the apron wraps a bit too far for my liking...

    I think that's a bit more impressive than the saltire kilt. Very cool.

    Definitely different. Must confess it's not my cup of tea, but happy for those who "go for it."
