I called into 21st Century Kilts in Edinburgh sometime before the pandemic and Howie was there. A very personable gentleman, full of good advice, I was very tempted to invest in one of his lovely tweed kilts and possibly the jacket as well. Maybe I shall sometime. You are very much in a professional tailor's hands, albeit it with a very contemporary and occasionally flamboyant style.

I was never that enamoured of Utilikilts but decided to order a beige chino-coloured one about four years ago. When it arrived, my idea of a 37 inch waist differed from theirs and I couldn't even do it up. Rather than make efforts to return it to the States, it has languished at the back of the wardrobe ever since.
Thanks to weight loss injections, I decided to try it on today and it now fits. Not at all smart but quite comfy, it might do on a particular type of occasion.

But one-nil to Mr Nicolsby without a doubt.
