Thanks tundramanq! I had not seen the serged edge before. It definitely has the Utilikilt logo on the pocket with a Utilikilt size tag. So, it looks like it may well be the real deal!:p

I ordered a used Utilikilt on E-Bay last week, and it just arrived. It looks and fits great!

Looking at it a little closer, I wonder if it is the real deal, or a good counterfeit. I already own...

Ah', Scapa! Some would say there is only one distillery in the Orkneys, but here is lovely proof that they would be wrong.

Scapa is the unofficial single malt of Clan MacFarlane (Scapa was...

This Saturday the 5th is Tartan Day at Ardenwood!

While Alan H. is the Athletics Director, I have been roped in to being the volunteer coordinator. I am looking for one or two adults (18 or over)...

Looks like the Mrs. and I will be there!

Pleasanton is not really known for its food. Fremont is actually getting known for its Indian food, and is not too far away. If you want something close, check out:

Oh' dear, I'm sorry!

It looks like the misses and I should be there both days.

Dixon Games? Sure, why not!

Of course, with 'The Big One' coming up this weekend, it is hard to think about another games at the end of the month.

Does it seem odd to anyone that here is coming up the largest games this side of the pond, and here on the largest kilted forum, all we have is about a dozen or so posts? (and at that, mostly just...

Sure can. The last couple days, it was well over 100F:shock:!

All in all though, this has been the mildest summer in some 20 years. This weekend it is expected to be in the 70's. What will the...

Yes, next month, that is the spirit!

Frances? Hayward is a bit of a hall for you. It will be great to see you! I was going to wear a different kilt, but just for you, I will be delighted to...

Opps! I thought that someone must have seen this before. I looked in various places before I posted this but obviously did not think to look in the "Kilts in the Media" section:oops:.

Has anyone seen this brew from BrewDog; the Scottish brewery's latest beer, the End of History?

or...

I am thinking of going. As Jake said, it is not very convenient to get to. I might take BART and then a Taxi to the Presidio.

The event is now on the Whisky Shop's website at:...

Look at that, perhaps I really was there?

Thanks McFarkus for showing me around!

Yet another Scottish/Celtic/Renaissance/Faire thing. Ho hum. Oh', German food? OK, count ME in!

Hmmm, turns out that this California boy is going to be in Chicago next weekend. Sunday is looking like a real possibility...

Perhaps I should pack a kilt and come out for the fun!

It does not seem humanly possible! Yet, according to master kilt maker Elsie Stuehmeyer, that was a requirement to become a journeyman kilt maker at Thomas Gordon & Sons. Truly amazing!

That is cool. Perhaps some of us should make a pilgrimage?

San Francisco is a bit of a high rent district. I hope they can make it there.

Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont is having their annual Tartan Day Scottish Fair on April 10th!

As if the above was not enough, our very own 'Alan H', has setup a rather nice Scottish Games Demo...

I did not know that pleating to sett was much of an option for a box pleat kilt. How small of a sett repeat should it be to be a reasonable option?

Ah', 2001 sounds like the first addition. I believe the second addition happened in 2007.
