I ordered a pair of Lewis socks from USA kilts mid last week and when they finally showed up on Monday (post office delivered to the wrong house) they weren't the right brand. Called too late on...

Everyone needs a hobby of some sort to get them through life in general. I lean towards woodworking, just picked up 4 boards to build a crib for a friend, had the rest of the wood already. In general...

It doesn't feel like a piling on so much as the asking for greater understanding of what is meant. Patriotism is in many ways an ephemeral idea that is hard to pin down. For some military service is...

I wear pants, which were also designed in the long past, it doesn't mean that I'm going to wear an antiquated shirt to go with it. Modern kilts of any type aren't really the exact same as the period...

The label is slightly in poor taste, though the ww2 story along the side of the can in interesting. In 7 years of living in finger lakes region and 20 years in central NY I've not heard of the brand...

That is some insane weights, can't imagine the level of training that goes into lifting that much. You have to be proud of the results.

Would love a kilt in that arctic tartan, both it and the Antarctic tartans are two of my favorites.

Looks like a good time had by all. I'm hoping to get my 3 down there this fall for the Smithsonian and a couple of the monuments.

I hang the keys from a loop on the belt and tuck the phone and wallet into the belt, just never liked the sporran hanging there. I'd actually like a leather pocket that goes on the belt that would...

Agree completely. When I lived upstate here in ny I could comfortably snowshoe in single digit temps with lake Ontario winds sending temps to the negatives. With the humidity levels here on Long...

To my eye they look to be about mid knee if only slightly higher, I'm not around enough/any kilted people to know what is truly common but it is where I wear mine as I find it the best local for...

When you look up Dewars it isn't given that it's gluten free and he does get a slight rash after drinking it.

Any suggestions for a truly gluten free whiskey of some quality. Wife's step-father has developed a gluten allergy and finds that he has a small reaction to the Dewars that he likes to drink,...

Just finishing moving, the general upheaval and disorder is insane, good luck with it.

I've got, and have used some of that fabric, personally I don't find it too light and think it makes a comfortable kilt. But from experience it is true it is easier to sew and follow the lines on a...

As someone who would probably be more deserving of the less special I can appreciate the distinction, I don't drink enough to fully grasp all the subtleties and finer would be wasted on me. As...

A nice local wine for me is Bully Hill's love my goat. If your store has a finger lakes selection it has a good chance of being there. Usually 9.00 a bottle locally. Its a very smooth, not too sweet...

This is the pic, just had to click on the paperclip

How does this differ from regular tartan? Coarser, thicker, or just color differences due to dying style? Seems like an interesting venture.

I've always lived in the Upstate NY area where from May-Oct if you pick a direction and throw a rock you'll hit a craft show of some form or another unless it lands in the lake. Really any festival,...

Is that an artic tartan in the front? I was looking for the fabric last year and it didn't seem available any more.

Really wanted to be there for this but the process of moving has left me neck deep in a term paper with a this friday deadline. Cool to see the work that's being produced and interesting take on the...

How about kilted at a craft show, they're a weekly event around here at least.

That has got to make for an awesome travel kilt. Your pictures just remind me that I need to get a camper and get my kids out there in the next 1-2 years. I haven't been there in 18 years myself but...

I have a timbuk2 bag I travel with that I sew patches to, you doing the same with the kilt?
