I ordered a new kilt!

As I was planning for a longer time it will be a Gow modern 8 yard heavyweight pleated to stripe if possible.
I ordered from a very well sorted kilt and bagpipe supply shop called "Kiltsandmore" near Heidelberg which is quite near to my place.
Hope I won't have to wait too long....

Congratulations! Now the 'jonesing' shall begin...

Is this the place?

So very interesting to see these Highland things with German nomenclature!

I had to learn all the parts of the bagpipe in Spanish and Bulgarian, but in German I would be at a loss.

I love the word "Dudelsacke"

Jah, and the fraulein in the Royal Stewart kilt looking back over her shoulder. Great way to begin the morning.

Pipersson,

I was lucky to have spent a week in Heidelberg and Mannheim back in 1979. I really loved the area and really enjoyed the particular dialect of the German spoken in Heidelberg. A beautiful area. Hope you do not have to wait too long for your new kilt and wear it often and proudly.

@kiltedtom:
Actually Heidelberg is near but another area...I am in Hessen, Heidelberg is in Baden-Würtemberg. The dialect is quite different... But Heidelberg is a nice city...I have never been in Mannheim I do have to confess.

Yeah, I am looking forward to my new kilt...should be ready in 6 weeks,

Thanks for your good wishes

Tom (yes, I am too)
