Presenting : The Double Box Tweed "Bunker"
We all know that a 'TANK' is defined as an eight-yard, wool, hand-sewn, traditional kilt. ie., "It's built like a tank." (coined by Jimmy Carbomb c.2005).
My Lady Chrystel was happy to show her light tweed kilt outfit a few weeks ago. Now she is proud to present the "BUNKER" ! her latest Double box Pleated tweed kilt.
This is a 6 yard, 22oz tweed kilt. Water proof, wind proof, (bullet proof ?  ), so heavy that we gave it this name : the "bunker".
The swish is dramatically sensuous, voluptuous.
It will probably be the only one of it's kind for it takes twice as much time to built compared to a "normal" DBPK.
Ideal for winter, it will keep me toasty when it really gets cold out here.
This is in front of our house with our dog "Ripaille"

The "Bunker" !
Well... back to work !
Best,
Robert

You're chopping wood in a beautiful outfit like that!! What's wrong with you?!?!
Those kilts are fantastic. I've got to get one.

Tweed is IDEAL for outdoors activity. in Great Britain, farmers wear tweed for outdoor work . You can hunt and sport around in tweed.
It's five times cheaper than tartan !

Really? I just thought that looked like a bit formal (and warm!) an outfit for woodcutting.

I could not agree more! That is a lovely tweed, out of interest is it a French "tweed", or, is it a Scots/Uk import?
