I wore my lovely new Black Isle tank to the office a little while back and ran into a colleague who wanted a picture, so I actually have photo of this one - showing the pleats, even.


John/Slohairt had long ago joked that a black-on-black shadow tartan such as this would make the perfect "Mennonite" kilt - yes, that's my ethnic background, not Scottish. And now that it looks as though I may soon be moving to Lille, France, to run a new University of Alberta program there, the Black Isle - "Lille noir" - seemed a really fine choice!

Regardless, it is a lovely kilt. John as always has done a very fine job.
