The new kilt...

**greybadger** · 16th August 14, 12:24 PM

... so following a previous thread, after looking around (and for convenience!) I stuck to my previous and went with Geoffrey Tailor. Picked the kilt up from them on my way through Edinburgh, and am v. pleased with it, as I was with my last kilt from them! Some pretty shoddy pictures when heading off to the pub.

The tartan is Black Stewart, pleated to the yellow stripe (can be seen in the last picture).

Black Stewart--always one of my favorites. I really like it pleated to the yellow like you have. Looking good!

You are one brave man, to wear your new kilt to the pub.
Took me some time until I could do that with my most treasured (and expensive) kilt.

The kilt is new, but I am not new to the kilt! I practically lived in kilts at university, which was over a decade ago (how time flies...), and have continued since then.

Very nice-looking kilt! Great tartan and pleating. And you wear it well. I like it with or without the sweater.

I practically lived in a stupor at university, which was about 5 decades ago (how time flies).

Very nice pictures: a beautiful kilt worn as it should (in length and combined with the right hose). This casual look is well succeeded.

Well yes, that is a given here in the UK!

Danke. I'm still not sold on the brown shoes / black sporran combo, but I don't have my brown day sporran with me at the moment (only a semi-dress one).
