    I just didn't get it at first. Maybe if I'd heard it out loud, I'd've been able to equate "a meringue" with "am I wrong", but written...sorry. :(

    A word of advice regarding Dalgliesh's reproduction colors: get a swatch to be sure you like the colors. I'd considered saving for custom weave of Murray of Tullibardine, so I ordered a swatch of the...

    Marton Mills only began including a selvage on their PV fabric fairly recently, so less popular tartans of which they still have older stock won't have it. But USA Kilts buys PV by the bolt, so all...

    First off, if you want something washable, I'd recommend going a step up from the Spork Kilt to a USA Kilts' Casual model. I have one of the former, and I pretty much reserve it for the gym...or to...

    Again, thank you. :)



    Yeah, a semi-dressy look when it's too warm for a jacket is precisely what I was going for. That's why I chose not only the lapels but the full tweed back as well, and why...

    New tweed waistcoat

    After two agonizing months of waiting, my Gaelic Themes tweed waistcoat from USA Kilts finally arrived. Despite the 90˚F (32˚C) heat, I just had to get dressed up and take a few pics:

    Well, ap or ab, depending on the name; specifically it seems ab was favored for names beginning with a vowel (e.g. ab Ifan --> Evans/Bevan).

    Also keep in mind that there was no Richards clan....

    No, but back in the day they only cost a guinea, for those who were too poor to afford pork...in North America they're pets, but in South America they're food. :(

    I'd say the only noticeable difference is that it's blue and black rather than authentic Gallaecia's two shades of blue. Of course, who knows if the actual thread count is correct, but I suspect that...

    I made a kilted skirt in the Evans tartan, and while it's a softer weave than some of the Scottish mills, it's still quite nice and I certainly wouldn't call it flimsy. Perhaps you're thinking of the...
