Do you have pictures of these hose you could share ...?

Understood. Check out Ministry of Tartan: http://www.ministryoftartan.com/kilt-jackets

They have jackets up to size 54.

Good luck!

If you don't have your heart set on a particular jacket that you love, I would encourage you to think about ordering a jacket MADE for a kilt rather than converting one that is not. The placement of...

Thanks very much.

I live in Chicago, but our Highland games have been cancelled for the second year in a row. I'm thinking of flying down for the Sherman festival ...

Question: How far from Dallas is it ...? I'm...

No apologies necessary. My email was sent on February 4 to btewksbu@hamilton.edu. I didn't receive an "error" message in return so presumed it had gone through. Regardless, we've all had instances in...

Thank you for offering, but no need to trouble yourself ... or her. I decided to go with Paul Henry, about whom many people in this forum had expressed satisfaction and confidence. I believe the kilt...

I wondered the same thing. I sent her an email in February (along with two other kilt makers) inquiring about having a new kilt made. She was the only one who never responded so I wondered if she...

Maybe those of us who live in Chicago should kilt up and meet some time at the Duke of Perth or some other venue ...

I'd be interested in reading out to him about a pair of custom diced hose. Can you share details on how I can reach him ...?

Thanks!

Spectacular. And quite moving. Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful pictures of your amazing Highland wardrobe! Of all your accessories, however, I think your beard is the best!

;-)

Understood. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. The reason I ask is that they sell new jackets and waistcoats in either 13 oz or 16 oz weights. I wondered whether their exhire jackets and waistcoats also came in either...

Oh! I hadn't noticed that. Thanks for all of the information and the update on your kilt-making services. Sounds like "retirement" is not exactly an accurate description for your situation right now,...

I'm curious whether you got a 13-oz or 16-oz jacket and waistcoat. I'm leery of the 16-oz weight on a jacket and waistcoat that will primarily be worn indoors ...

Thoughts ...?

Many thanks!

I've just finished watching your YouTube video re: measurements and found it very helpful. I have one question, however ...

From watching your video, it seemed that you were saying that a...

I haven't received this email yet (just joined Chicago Scots a few months ago), so thank you for passing this along. This is extremely disappointing news for everyone involved. It would have been my...

Happy 10th anniversary from a newbie who has already enjoyed exchanging chats with you.

Best wishes!

We ended up with at least 10 inches here, as well. And now the frigid cold will come ...

Kilted for 10 weeks straight! Wow. Good for you.

Best wishes,
Kevin

especially during the more temperate months.

How can you even MENTION "more temperate months" when we're shoveling out from 8" of snow here! I suspect you're not wearing your kilt...

Fingers crossed for you. But I wouldn't worry about moving the straps a bit if needed.

Kevin

I should think so, yes. It's actually not a very difficult thing to do ...

I made detailed notes for the tailor and even printed out a picture of the back of the kilt with lines showing where I...

Many thanks to Father Bill for this history lesson! And to Rocky from USA Kilts for supplying the complete lyrics to the song.

Happy Hogmanay to one and all!

Kevin

Such a disappointment!

Have you considered having a tailor move the straps before resorting to extenders? My kilt arrived a bit smaller than expected, as well. For $25, my tailor moved the straps...
