I am an Air Force vet and the Thurso is very close to the USAF tartan. A few years ago I had the displeasure of receiving the wrong tartan.
(Rocky at USA Kilts later had the kilt in PV, which I...

I love the Maple Leaf Tartan and the kilt Steve made for me is one of my favorites. I have a huge affinity for hockey...I love the game. Canada is viscerally intertwined with that. I roared as...

Our company has it's own SaaS application (software as a service), suppliers and contractors forget their password all the time, I wind up doing this on the Help Desk constantly (even with an...

I am TOTALLY with Liam on this one. I own more Box pleated kilts than knife pleated kilts (in wool) and really like them. Never once, has anyone said to me anything outside of this forum about Box vs...

I have followed this thread eagerly, as it expanded my knowledge and understanding.

But one total curiosity question for me. Given the tremendous time and energies involved in reconstructing...

I did not get married in a kilt. However, I have a story worth sharing given the threads that occasionally pop up about regarding insisting on wearing a kilt versus discerning whether it might not be...

A few days before 11 November is Veteran's Day, a time those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the service you are honoring with the tartan.
You probably knew this, but I just never forget the...

I have been to Ireland many times I was last over in November. I do all of my own bookings and planning and have a great time. If you do not mind the extra leg work, I personally enjoy it, and...

Robert Pel of RKilts makes a wonderful kilt. It costs a bit more than the other kilts mentioned here but, it is hand made and the quality is superior. It is made of hemp. I do do not have the black...

Very nice tartan, Ron (riverkilt) has placed a lot of pictures of this tartan online. I am curious, is the white in the tartan hard to keep clean?

Very nice kilt.

While we have not formally met, I saw you at the last Tour you alluded to in 2013. You were speaking to one of the Pipers just prior to myself. I am tentatively planning on being there for the...

Don't misunderstand...I understand this is all a good bit of fun and humorous, everyone having a laugh. Having said that I am a regular contributor to TripAdvisor and use the sight quite frequently....

Mookien,
I know you are waiting on John's reply on the mill, but I can tell you he is a great kilt maker. He has made me a few wool kilts and his work is excellent, his customer service and...

Couper, can you confirm whether this is a new material or not? You indicated yours was from December. I found Flynn's information accurate based on the material that was used circa 2009-2010. It was...

Ern,
Thanks for including a shot with sandals. I frequently, in warm SoCal, wear sandals with my kilt. I would venture to say most Saturdays.
It works well with a casual kilt, PV, RKilt etc. As an...

Grand kilt! I know box pleats always seem to draw derision and sarcastic remarks about school girls around here, but they are wonderful kilts.
Most of my wool kilts are box pleated. The tartan is...

Boyd, I can assure you the Firefighter Memorial tartan is a very fine tartan in semi trad, I own one myself.
It is a real favorite of mine. My paternal grandfather was a fireman, dating back to...

Was not sure whether Rocky's sale ended at 11:59 pm EDT or not (I am in California) so I rushed last evening after getting off work and made sure all of the monthly bills were paid, all the upcoming...

I have no dog in this fight, but a couple of comments from someone who loves kilts but is not an intellect in the finer details. Color pallette being less than exact is not something that really...

First thing, once you get the first one it is downhill from there. There will always be one more tartan, one more kilt....so be prepared for the ride.

On a second note, I own an American...

Clarifies in abundance...I can't imagine having to contact 30-35 official bodies/agencies/organizations, especially if they are public agencies, and await their approval. I am sure that would take...

I am a little confused, are these alternative state tartans? The Massachusetts tartan looks very different than the official tartan which is was approved by the Legislature. If this is the case, is...

A slight aside...but I was at the O Canada House this weekend in Vancouver where the Canadian National was penned by Ewing Buchan. http://ocanadahouse.com/history/ and in an equally Canadian pursuit...

My error, I see MacLowLife's mention of it in the earlier posting. I did read the post, just missed it. Thanks
