Just Getting Started, Full Speed Ahead!

I’ve honestly never had my kilt dry cleaned. I’ve owned it for 22 years. I wear it fairly regularly. When I’m done wearing it I lay it flat to air dry and then store it in my garment bag.

welcome to the forum

I'm reading a lot from both camps.

I do have to remove a Scottish pie stain that happened to be right in the middle of a new 5 Yard! But I'm ready to do it myself with the guidance I learned here.

Thanks for the Welcome!

If he's interested, we found a great genealogy site called Doig.net (it hasn't been updated in a few years). It has history back to Walter Dog from the 1300's. My mother is on the tree, all be it hundreds of pages down at the bottom .

Regards,

My colleague is aware of the site and he and is family are in the family tree there.

I own a Drummond of Perth kilt, in House of Edgar Muted colours.



House of Edgar's "muted" colour range is unique to them.

To sum up the major colour-changes:

Colour: Modern/Muted

Red: scarlet/cherry
Blue: dark blue/cobalt blue
Green: dark green/olive green.

Here's the fabric of my kilt, their 13 ounce Drummond of Perth Muted

If intending to order Drummond of Perth from HoE please be aware of a quirk that exists!

Here's their listing for 13 ounce Drummond of Perth Modern and you'll notice the image clearly shows the Muted colours:

Not only that, but their listing for 16 ounce Drummond of Perth Modern also clearly shows the Muted colours:

This isn't just them switching images! For years I played in a Pipe Band and we had a mix of Muted 13ounce kilts and Modern 16ounce kilts and they were all in the same Muted colours.

I am a bit slow with my welcoming you, but better late than never. Glad you’re here. Welcome from North Carolina.

Great to see Drummond worn by a pipe band! Thank you for all the info.

Failte! Welcome to the great Rabble from the metro Boston area! It seems like we're reaching critical mass for a New England meetup. The better half is from Mystic, CT, so I am frequently in the Coastal Eastern portion of Nutmeg state.

Thank you! We should have a kilted beach day, Misquamicut? Wouldn't that be a hoot, a bunch of kilts on the beach! I could add that to the list of first time doing "x" in a kilt!
