Just picked up a Lagavulin 9 GOT edition from the PX today. Excellent dram! Not quite as deep, rich, and complex as its older brother, but Lagavulin quality nonetheless. Cheers!

I recently picked up a Glenfiddich 12 on sale at the store. First time trying it, and for 34 bucks, its a winner for me. Currently sipping on it. Cheers!

Of course they do! However, its optional for each class. We could not get enough people to order them so the company refused to make a small order. We were orange class.

Ah yes, thats building 5700, the installation admin building. We stayed in those brick barracks you talk about.

A few things have changed Steve. Those wooden barracks are now brick (probably built in the 80s) but 1st WOC is still right there across the street from the museum. I now have a love/hate...

Hello again rabble! I had a bit of a hiatus from here while i was at warrant officer candidate school, but im back and happily kilted again :D i wanted to share with you all a picture taken at the...

Just got this nice little Xmas present, Ardbeg Corryvreckan. Took a little sample right away, and let me tell you, what a mouthfull!! Not quite as peaty, but delicious and smooth nonetheless,...

This is our Sadie. She's a 9 year old Boston Terrier, sweet as can be. She was my wife's dog before we met, so Sadie and I had a period of adjustment when we started living together. We have come...

Here's to you two Father Bill, congratulations! It's been 9 years since I met my better half, and this post gives me hope! To many more.

Excellent, I figured there was a connection there somewhere. Thanks! It's one thing I love about military uniforms, everything has a meaning and a connection to something in the history of the...

I believe he means the quote at the bottom of his posts, not the actual avatar profile picture.

Great song, thanks for sharing. I noticed the guys with cheetah pelts drapped over them. Does that have any expeditionary significance with the Gordon Highlanders?

Meh, anything is possible. Now, is it likely? Probably not. For all the reasons already explained by many, mostly Tobus, the ghillie shirt is neither smart nor elegant. Does Patrick think so? Yes,...

That's wishful thinking my friend.

I think raising your kilt and lowering the top of the kilt hose is a great start, and Panache has given you great advice on how to wear that style of shirt. He is one of the few people I have seen...

How do you define casual?

Ivor,
I consider myself to be pretty flexible. I follow traditional highland conventions when wearing the kilt but I can see why you are struggling with these things. So, kilt hose; when kilted, the...

Once you have selected the colors, tap the color banners once more to bring them down to the thread count box. I spent a good 20 minutes clicking around helplessly until I finally figured it out :lol:

No worries. I just have over 10 years in the fashion industry and these things are second nature to me :lol:

To me, the first picture Tobus posted is perfectly fine. The second one, the lines are a bit too wide for a kilt. I consider a traditional tattersall to be a subtle pattern on a light color base,...

I have a 5 yard 16 oz wool Ireland's National from USA Kilts, fairly new, got it in February 2017 and have worn it about 10 times. I have outgrown the hip measurement, and I'll sell it if you're...

I think that is where you are looking at it wrong Patrick. The kilt is in no way a thing of the past. It is a tailored garment that has evolved with the times into what it is today, a very present...

Patrick,

In telling you this with the best of intentions in mind, not to mock you or belittle you in any way. Ghillie shirts are just that, shirts, shirts that YOU like, which in no way, shape or...

Personal opinion...it's just an ugly shirt. It looks like you are wearing a costume or trying to re-enact a period when something of the like was worn. The only person I've ever seen pull off the...

You have two options. You can make a hem on the fabric before you start sewing, or you can leave the fringed selvedge as is. USA Kilts used to leave their PV kilts (they might still do, but I have...
