MY FAVORITE Kilt

**puffer** · 19th January 08, 02:24 PM

Here is my Favorite Kilt.

Tartan = "BLACK" Douglas
Pleats = Boxed
Waist = HIGH ( note the 2" belt is @ the "correct place.)
Fastners = The kilt is "fastened with 4 buttons on the side.
Maker = North Channel Kilts (Patrick Roper ) in Seattle WA

I prefer a "high waist ( other kilts are 1" lower ) I am 6' & slender w/narrow hips, & the higher waist helps keep the kilt up.

That is a beautiful kilt. Do you have any photos wearing it? Kilts just look better when someone wears them in my opinion.

I posted a pic in my orig. Introduction. But here is the one Patrick took of me the day I picked it up ( forgive the Quality of focus,. my camera & I forgot to set it right

) Also note the "low slung", belt, to;d you I had troubles .

NOTE, Patrick also made the uniform jacket ( out of an old coat from Goodwill) he does GREAT work.

As one of our Mackay pipers from Seattle wears North Channel Kilts & I've seen it in person, I too can attest to his work.

Love the second photo, even if it is a wee bit out of focus.

That is one fine looking kilt. That red stripe really pops!

I can relate. My favorite kilt is a haigh waisted Canadian military issue Black Watch, for that exact reason.

Yes, in normal light, the red stripe does stand out. BUT in the sunshine, it is the light blue stripe that "dominates",It becomes almost "fluorescent" & is the feature almost always commented on.

As to the "very" high waist., after a lot of research, Patrick,decided that this was what was needed. ( parameters were, 1800-1812.- to be worn with a Coatee style coat (like the uniform coat) or a "tail coat. With or with out a "vest.
