Ah yes, in the States a jumper is often a type of woman's dress, which is why they were thoroughly confounded.

I agree with Halloween as well. I did almost wear the kilt to a friend's funeral, though. His last name was Scott and was very much like an uncle to me, though we were not directly related. I hadn't...

My wife and I went out to Piping on the Green in Tullahoma, Tennessee. I am the guy by the sign, not the piper :)

I get this, too. Last week a co-worker told me that I should have worn my kilt for St. Patrick's Day. I know that St Patrick is believed to have been from Scotland, but that's not the point. :)

I wore my MacLean on Monday and will probably wear my Scott another day this week. Hopefully it will get a little warmer for you.

Howdy, folks. I'm selling my HoC Lewis kilt hose (size large - US 11-13) and 2 sets of Lochcarron premium wool flashes.

The hose are mid-gray and charcoal. The mid-gray have been worn once, maybe...

I have see the "Forged in Ulster" channel on YouTube which has both BBC and RTE programs related to the Ulster-Scots, but I don't know if they have permission to rebroadcast. (Probably not.) But they...

That seems pretty reasonable, actually. Although, it's cheaper to register my car every year here in the states. :cool:

A license for television is an odd thing to me. I suppose it places the burden on TV viewers rather than all taxpayers. :) Not to get political, but just an observation that intrigues me about how...

I get Mackay's orange marmalade here in Tennessee. It's wonderful and I wish I'd had the opportunity to try marmalade in Scotland when I was there. But, Mackay's is made in Dundee, so I imagine it's...

So close, yet so far away. :D

Fantastic find. Thank you for sharing!

Tobus I had the same thought just last evening. I'm new here and yet still keenly aware of his contributions and activity. Glad to know he's living the good life.

I appreciate this thread and others. I'd never considered Highlanders coming over in service to the Crown. And I didn't know that there was a Highland settlement in Georgia. So that's 2 new things...

I've never seen a pay toilet in the States, but I've spent nearly all of my time in Tennessee and I'm a child of the 80's. But we would typically make a purchase as a gesture of thanks.

My first...

I can also confirm the quality of the hangers. I'll never order another kilt from Rocky and crew without also adding on a hanger.

It finally came! Ron over at USA Kilts did a great job. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. This definitely will not be my last kilt.

Thank you all for your posts in the forum with such...

I am very happy to begin waiting for my casual kilt in Scott Weathered. I placed the order today, and a couple phone calls were exchanged to confirm the length and now all is settled. I'm really glad...
