A beautiful new Kilt.

'tis a beautiful tartan for sure. Welcome to the small fraternity of Dutch Friendship Tartan kilt owners. The tartan is more beautiful than the lens can capture and the monitor can display. I love hiking the tourist trails in mine and every now and then meet Dutch tourists and I get to explain the tartan to them.

I found this pair of crossed flags on the Internet and added them to my kilt pin for the Dutch Friendship tartan.

You'll find yourself choosing to wear that tartan often. Enjoy.

Lovely Dutch tartan and what a great choice of pin too given the accession of Willem Alexander to the throne of the Netherlands.

Might also get you a few quid off on tickets to André Rieu concerts!

As of my last delivery, I've now ordered 5 hand made wool kilts, and have come to feel, and think that the wait is part of the process. And a part to be enjoyed. At the moment I don't have a kilt on order, but the next MacGregor tartan that I want (red & black, also known as Rob Roy) will take about 13 +weeks to deliver, and while I'm really looking for having that "next kilt" I'm also looking forward to watching the weeks click off while I anticipate its delivery.

I visualize the waiting period from order to deliver, as part of the "birth of a kilt"... I like all aspects of the process.

I agree Stan, I can tolerate and even enjoy the wait while a kilt is being made up. But when there is no fabric to weave and all you are waiting for is someone to get around to taking the correct fabric off a shelf, cutting it to the right length and sticking it in the post... Takes the edge off the enjoyment a bit.

Edit: Anyway. 'tis done now so I'm very happy with the finished article.

EB, good to see you back here posting again old bean.

I've always been told that they were waiting on the mill to make another run. But now that you mention it, that may be (sometimes) only partially true.

Now that I "have knowledge", the next time I'm waiting (patiently) for a new kilt, I'm going to try to "un-bite the apple" (if there is such a thing..LOL).... and (try to) think that the making of my kilt is so special, that it takes "all that time" just to make something that I'll be happy with.......LOL...

Nice threesome, EB, especially the Black Isle. I was really torn between that tartan and the Highland Granite I finally ordered from Rocky. Second thoughts? Nah . . . well, maybe. Nah . . .hmmmm.

Well done.
