The rabble:

A while back I posted a long and rambling discourse on where I was at in my kilting journey. The short version is: like 'em all, warming to more traditional wool, short yardage kilts.

The two kilts that are getting the most time are the Newsome box pleat (charcoal tweed) and the USAK Leatherneck five yard. Initially, I used these two kilts as my "special occasion" kilts. They dress up mighty fine, and I'm proud to show off the handiwork of Matt and Rocky (and Kelly).

At the same time, I've noticed that more and more, if it's time to run to the store, or drop off some files or run by a vendor, I'll change out of my knockabout kilts (poly-cotton, PV, acrylic) and change into one of these two kilts.

With a t-shirt and Keene sandals, or with a dress shirt, hose, flashes and Born brogues (or Docs), these kilts just work. I don't use them for knockabout duty, but I do use them for just about everything else.
