    Sgt Farr's USA Camo kilt - pics?

    I was reading a thread on 1st Sgt. Dwayne Farr - the kilted Bagpiper of much fame from the Marines.

    Anyway, I know he received several kilts in the marpat desert camo, and according to something I read, Rocky made one also.

    Are there any pics of Rocky's fine work?

    If so, please direct me to them!

    I don't know of any pictures, but there is an article on him here:

    I don't think there are any photos of him in our kilt. Channel 3 (CBS in philly) did a story on me making the kilt, but that was about it.

    I met him last year at Celtic Classic in Bethlehem and he thanked me for the kilt. He said that he was going to email me pics, but I never received them.

    Bummer.

    I saw him in the Utilikilts one (I think).

    Hopefully, you'll see him again, possibly wearing it, and can get a shot.

    That can only be good for business!

    True... but (without trying to sound "sappy") I didn't do it for the business. The only way channel 3 would use their contacts to help us get the measurements is if they could do a story on me, so we let them. I was just doing it to help out a marine who was protecting my freedom and to help brighten up the day of his fellow marines by putting their "bagpipe buddy" in a kilt.
