O…M…G…The extravagance of a second kilt

[McElmurry]

O...M...G...I can't believe you have ordered a second kilt




Well, in my own defense, I needed to see what all the fuss was about regarding the box pleated kilts.
So here is a sneak peek. Feel the jones.

Culloden tartan? Excellent choice!

So, what do you think about your box-pleated kilt?

I feel your pain...

A semi-dress kilt started it for me.

Now I'm waiting on the arrival of:

1. A full dress (8yd MacGregor Ancient) kilt
2. A semi-casual USA Kilt Casual in MacGregor Modern
3. A really-casual in Stuart Black (budget from BaK.com)

In the meantime there have been a couple of jackets

• a PC for formal
• a black Barathea Argyll for day
• a tweed Argyll to be worn with everything from a
  skivvy to shirt, tie and waistcoat for a variety of
  cases
• a formal sporran and clan crest Sgian Dubh
• new formal hose

Help!! Does it ever end????

The kilt just went under the kiltmaker's needle so it will be a few weeks before I actually have the kilt.

Roger that. After I purchased my first kilt I somehow collected four jackets. Two conversions from a local XMTS member and two Kinloch Anderson jackets from another XMTS member who has developed a need for tweed and was clearing space in his closet.

I like that little turn of phrase!

Quite so, mate! Hahahaha! And I hope those two jackets and waistcoats are serving you well. They will both look very smart with your new kilt done in the ever so beautiful and gorgeous, Culloden tartan. I can't wait to see photos of it when it is finished! Well done!

Kindest rgeards,

Yes, thanks. My wife and I were both taken with the tartan immediately when Peter first presented it but it took me a while to adjust to the idea of wearing a tartan just because I like it. In the end I rationalized that there were Morrisons at the battle so there is a nexus of sorts. And the green makes my green eyes pop.

I like that little turn of phrase!

I do make an effort at times.

Kindest rgeards,

I am enjoying the jackets very much. My wife knitted a tie that goes very well with the green jacket. I need to get some photos up before she gets the idea I don’t appreciate it, or her.

If ya end up having 100 kilts in your closet creates another problem. How to argue with your shoe obsessed girlfriend about the 30th pair of shoes? ;) I don't plan to have an obsession. I recently ordered my second kilt who is pretty extravagant too. This one here:
