Right then! Here, at long last, are photos of the five new kilts I brought back to England from my recent visit to Palm Springs, SoCal ('Southern California' for my British and non-USA chums). I will spread them across two or three postings as there are ten images in all.

First, the delicious USA Kilts from Rocky and Kelly (to whom I extend my renewed thanks for getting the kilts to me in Palm Springs with perfect timing). I think it worth mentioning here that the kilts were mailed from Phoenixville to Palm Springs, were immediately worn by me without having an iron put near their pleats (my hosts out there did not have an iron - "This is California. What use would we have for an iron?!!), were rolled for transportation back to England, have been hanging when not being worn since then, and still have not been shown an iron! I think that says a lot about the quality of the workmanship that Rocky and Kelly put into USA Kilts, don't you?

Both kilts are from their Semi-Traditional range. First, the 'Caledonia' tartan:



The second is in the 'Prince of Wales' tartan. Which I was inspired to own when I saw the photos of Ron's super kilt in the same tartan - thanks Ron.
This one is interesting in that I was expecting the colours to be red, black and white - and that is how they look in 'the flesh' ........ until one puts the kilt alongside a black T-shirt. Then it becomes obvious that black is not featured but a very, very dark green is! That makes sense too, as the Welsh national colours are red, green and white. Anyway, here is the kilt:



My thanks to Rocky and Kelly for being providers of such wonderful garments.
However, since the autumn/fall weather has arrived here, complete with frosts, these lighter weight kilts might not get a lot of wear now until the spring - but I'll certainly make up for lost time then!!
