Heck, it even netted me a free doughnut at the gas station this morning! I could get used to this kilted life... I'll probably wait for it to warm up a bit more before I make another run at it though...

From another Wisconsinite, good job!

Today we have meetings all day and no students so I wore a kilt yesterday. I decided to turn things around and did tartan on top and solid tweed below (green tweed kilt with Campbell ancient waistcoat). Sorry for the bad laptop selfie...

Now... for this weekend I will be kilted for our Burns Night celebration and will continue that all of next week at school.

Looking smart. I love the tartan waistcoat with the solid kilt. ... is this picture reversed? (my phone does that.) I ask because of the position of your kilt pin.

Yup. My laptop does that. Sometimes, if I have the time, I will import the image into a different program and flip it to correct, but I have not with this one.

I suspected as much.. It is funny the things that "jump out" at us when we have seen the Kilt. That vest is great. Is it a bespoke piece or off-the-rack?

I will say "bespoke." I made it. I picked up a nice piece of Campbell Ancient from HOE that was a fly plaid. I pulled out the pleating in the plaid and made a small sash for my wife as well as this from it.

Very nice. As a Campbell, I can certainl appreciate that. (I get stuk wearing BW too often because no one likes to keep the Campbell (A) on hand. I'll have to see about making one of these .
