Hello all,

I have the following two acrylic kilts for sale from smoke-free home:

Stillwater Standard Kilt in Weathered MacKenzie, waist 34", length 24", pleated to the sett - this is the kilt I...

Before I shrank out of it, I wore my USAK casual in pretty much any context where I would wear a pair of utilitarian pants; hiking, to the pub, etc. and without much worry about staining or wear; I...

Congrats and well done! Mrs. usonian and I have been on a similar "get back into shape" regimen over the last 2-3 years. What got me going was showing up at my 20 year high school reunion and being...

Happy birthday, Sir!

Thanks for the kind words! One thing that can be frustrating when shopping online is lack of photos, especially when it comes to various companies' off the rack kilts! You usually get a wide shot of...

A couple of weeks ago I found myself in a "good news, bad news" situation. Good news: Since making my first 8 yard heavy wool tartan kilt a few years back, I've lost a bunch of weight. Bad news:...

RE: Kilt jackets, yes, they are a thing and a whole other rabbit hole you can go down! They range from tweed daywear to formal doublets, but the common characteristic is that the body is shorter so...

There's a U.S. Civil War memorial tartan (I think it's the "Union Memorial Tartan", but the tartan registry website is down at the moment so I can't verify) that basically took the Grant tartan (as a...

I have not been to a lot of specifically Scottish-themed events (Burns suppers or Highland Games for example) but what I've observed in my neck of the woods in the United States is that there are two...

Beautiful work, truitt! I'm a very amateur, occasional weaver (I currently have some tartan scarves on my loom from over a year ago, a project that stalled because the warp really needs to be...

I've been pretty happy with http://imgur.com/ - once you've uploaded an image you can choose a few different sizes and then copy the 'BBCode' or 'Linked BBCode' and paste it into a message here, and...

It finally (barely) thawed enough for me to throw the Thrifty kilt on for a while the other day. Still no photos, but a couple more notes: Although this kilt does have pleats adjacent to the...

Yes, my medium size has 12 knife pleats, each about 1.5 inches wide (and I would say about 1.5 inches deep as well, but I haven't measured). By "Fully pleated" I expect they mean that the pleats...

Hey folks, I haven't been around here much lately. but this winter's unrelenting cold and snow have gotten me thinking ahead to warmer days, and last week I made an impulse purchase of a Stillwater...

I quite fancy that Maine tartan. My mother's home state and a place I think of as a home away from home. Hmmm.

Yeah - TAOKM instructions are hand-sewing (except for the waistband, optionally) and for a traditionally constructed 8 yard, heavyweight kilt I can't imagine adapting too many of them for machine...

I'm still ambivalent about the look of contemporary/utility kilts, but I think I've come to the conclusion that (for me) the "sloppy" factor has more to do with the rest of the outfit than the kilt...

There's a certain type of person who will make abjectly stupid comments about anything to anyone if they think it might get a rise out of them. Usually they'll lose interest if everyone ignores them.

Nice job! Is the material a wool/suiting type fabric?

I responded 'Maybe' because I'm enough of a casual sports fan to appreciate the overlap in tribe mentality between tartan as family identifier and team colors as a bond between fans. And a Boston...

I'm mostly a New England yankee, but I lived in California for six years. This clearly reflects the route I took on the cross-country drive to and from there.

Beautiful work.
