    Reenactment uniform

    Has anyone bought a kilt from http://www.whatpriceglory.com/scot.htm who has pictures to show?

    They seem nice and at a good price for a "tank," but I am a little concerned I would look like I'm wearing a costume, and not an actual "garment" per se.

    Opinions, please.

    Several Xmarkers have purchased bits of kit from WPG, Reece, including kilts -- I can assure you that his gear is not "costumes", but reproductions and originals of British Army issue gear.

    Cheers,

    Jerry's cool at What Price Glory. No kilt from him yet but excellent replica War 2 RAF flying gloves and RAF battlejacket. He don't sell no crapola. You'll be safe. His replicas aren't costumes, they're authentic replicas. Can't do better than that. Prompt shipping and good service too. A positive fun spirit about the place.

    Most of my WWII kit comes from Jerry at WPG. Very knowledgable, and the products are top-notch.

    I am thrilled there are Campbells in my family! That Black Watch has my name on it. And the military highrise should make the 24" the perfect length for me.

    Bubba post pictures as soon as you get it. I want to see one!

    Thanks for the responses...

    I'm really going to have to set up some kind of on line album. I don't have one and since the software change it makes posting pics problematic.

    On'line photo albums

    I heard about this link http://photobucket.com/ from a posting here. It is very easy to register with (there is only one screen required, anymore than that can be ignored). Once you have given them your E-mail you can exit the window and check your E-mail for further instructions. It may try and trick you into filling out a different form, just exit after you submit your E-mail and and check that E-mail.

    On photobucket, after you load all you pics, you will be able to "create" [IMG] files. Click on the button that says "Create IMG file?" and then you will see three boxes below each picture. One of these three boxes will have an "address" starting off with an [IMG].

    1. Click on it and it will highlight itself.

    2. After it is highlighted, hold down Ctrl and press "C" (to copy).

    3. Open up an xmarksmarks dialogue box, click inside of the box

    4. Hold down Ctrl and press "V" )to insert.

    It's so easy to use, I can post this little flag at the end of each of my posts!

    I notice that the Black Watch comes in 23" --even "more" perfect! Cannot wait!

    Bubba did you say what the turn-around time was from WHAT PRICE GLORY?
