    I just picked up a pre-enjoyed kilt on a whim.

    I just bought a used wool kilt because I liked the color, and it was my size and the price was right... Is that bad? I rarely make those sort of purchases because money is always tight, but I just did a side job replacing ball joints on a jeep and figured I deserved it.

    Here are a couple pics from the listing, I have no idea on what tartan it is, but I'm excited nonetheless!!!

    Can't wait till it arrives!

    It looks like the Wallace Hunting tartan to me. That is one of the few that I can recognize, being both a newbie and a Wallace. Congratulations! Of course, if you decide you don't look good in it........

    Well yes, that does seem to be a match!

    I can recognize a good many tartans but being color blind can be challenging as I can't put a color to what I'm seeing...

    On the plus side to colorblindness, if I'm ever matchy-matchy it's by pure chance!

    "Is that bad?" No. That's good. Great find. Congratulations. Can't wait to see it on you. Unlike on the dummy, line the aprons up vertically. One should not be able to see the inner apron.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    I love the phrase "pre-enjoyed" - don't think I have heard that used before!
