Made out like a kilted bandit!

[frank_a]

Exceeded my expectations by a tad!

It started out good...



And kept getting better...



I also got a broadsword kilt pin, a good thing, as the kilt closet is getting larger. New kilt should be on it's way sometime in January, and I should have a new casual Harris Tweed jacket in brown about the same time. I need to start making some brown belts, and get myself a brown casual sporran.

Maybe a new closet?

I hope you all had a blessed and joyous Christmas!

More pics. Not sure what to do with the gillie brogues. Lace is not long enough to do one more go-around. Longer laces? Now all I need is a dress belt/buckle.



Enjoy! Cheers!

Ah Frank, it appears you are very loved. Very nice additions to your collection.

That's quite a haul, Frank.

Glad you're feeling the love. Nice haul!

If you're going to wear the waistcoat with your Charlie, you really don't at all.

I heard that batch of Dalwhinnie had gone out of date and needed to be recalled. You can send it to me and I will take care of it.

ML, you're such a kidder! But even if Frank sent that whisky South, I'm sure it would get mysteriously lost once it started passing through North Carolina.

Awesome!

Looks like you're all set for Burns Supper (coming up soon!)

I got a half-dozen miniature bottles of various brands of Scotch, great for trying things I probably wouldn't have tried had I had to buy an entire bottle.

Now all I need is a dress belt/buckle.

Frank, I have a very nice one I never wear anymore, the civilian Evening Dress width belt with a couple buckles, the standard chrome Celtic knotwork & bosses type, and a lovely heavy pewter stag & Celtic knotwork one from Glen Esk. I'd sell the belt and both buckles to you cheap. Nowadays I always wear the extra-wide "piper" size belt with a vintage buckle.

Here's the Glen Esk buckle I don't use, but mine is more shiny



Here's the traditional standard buckle that fits the same belt which I likewise don't get any use out of, in fact I've only worn it a couple times

What's with the Wallace tartan necktie Frank? I thought you were a Campbell.
