Kilt No.62 has arrived!
Hi guys!
Sorry I have not been around for a day or two - have been experiencing more technical glitches with 'old faithful' here (I WISH I knew more about computers and what makes them not work!) I still cannot manipulate (ie: crop) my photos, but I thought one or two of you might be interested to see Kilt No.62 in the Kilt Kollection, which arrived yesterday (Friday) - a clear week ahead of schedule!
The kilt is in the Brittany National tartan, is a full 8 yarder in 13oz wool, is superbly tailored and fits like a glove. My thanks and congratulations go to Richard at 'La Maison du Kilt' in Paris.
Quite unusually for me, I have had some difficulty is colour co-ordinating this tartan from my existing stock of shirts, ties, flashes, etc.! I find I do not have very close matches for either the blue or the green stripes in the tartan and am obviously having to go to shopping as soon as possible! As you will see, in both casual and semi-formal modes I have resorted to accessorising with white, which is not too bad I think (although I really do not like white hose, as you know!). The alternative would have been black, which would have been far too heavy in appearance. Anyway, the important thing is for you to see the kilt, and that magnificent Breton kilt pin!
Oh, by the way, Photobucket does not seem to be re-sizing my photos at the moment - just another glitch I don't understand!
