The latest kilt

[Moosehead]

WARNING: these pics really suck! We just couldn't get the lighting right and, of course, the camera in ancient. This is 16oz, in olive. Although, it is basically identical to my Lovat green hose. No amount of fiddling could get the colour to show properly. Drats. There are as yet no buckles, as I'm still waiting fo them. It also needs a final press, but I wanted to get some pics up. I'm going to pick up some Hodden next trip.




With regards Inverness capes on order, I'm about a week and a half behind due to late order from Mill . They start going out on Tuesday.

That's a great looking cilt.

Ahh, doesn't look like it will fit me.

Seriously, it looks good.

I concur! Nice looking kilt! Thanks for the pics!

Thanks to Rex for trying to colour correct the pics. Olive wool is tough to photograph. The middle image is the closest to reality.

Ahh, doesn't look like it will fit me.

Thats the non-existent Murphy butt, as my wife calls it.

[Big Paul]

That is a fine lookin' like!

Do you mean Hodden Gray? This has been mentioned before, but I have no idea what Hodden Gray looks like. Can you describe it?

[Moosehead]

For all intents and purposes, it could be called tan. However, the current incarnation has a purplish/pinkish hue, which some Regimental guys call "salmon". Only the Toronto Scottish and the London Scottish Regiments wear it. These images from the Toronto Scottish. The first is closest in actual colour.

Yep. My Dad has my Grandpa's WWII Hodden Grey kilt, and it is that colour.

Grandpa was 6' 5" with a 32" waist, so there is no way I'll ever fit in it!
