    Watch out Hamish I ordered my next kilt yesterday.

    Linda at Hector Russell is so helpfull ...So what is it this time . The MacWilliam Ancient would be a bit difficult to get so I went for MacFarlane Hunting Ancient which for those of you that don't know looks like this.

    Ok David, so now I am REALLY worried!! ;) However, if it helps you to keep a clear head, I received my very first Freedom Kilt from Steve in Victoria BC this morning. The order was given on August 9th whilst I was visiting that fair city with 'The Gang' during the Vancouver Gathering. This one, by the way, is number 57 in my Kilt Kollection. It is Charcoal poly-cotton with silver embroidered logo and filigree buttons. In a word: WOW!

    My on-line time is so severely limited at the moment (other priorities) that it might be a day or three before I can get the photo-shoot accomplished and a full report on this Oh-so-kewl garment written, so watch this, or that, space!

    I believe this was the first tartan to be favoured by my good Pal and travelling companion, Dave W. It is beautiful.

    David,
    Yes, he has MacFarlane Hunting kilts in both Modern and Ancient colours and I am sure he will have some photos. Because he is between jobs right now I may not be able to contact him until next week but, if all else fails, I have some photos of him wearing these kilts during our 2003 Tour of the USA which I could E-mail to you. In fact, there are a couple in the 'USA Tour' sub-album within my Photo Album, but they're not very good ones. I'll be in touch.

    Thanks Hamish that would be great.

    I'll say it like Bubba "I'll eat some sardines so I can wait with baited breath" :lol:
