Got my first "tank," and then some...

Rex, if that kilt isn't too much on the large side you can have the under apron strap and the buckles on the right side moved a bit to tighten it up.

Oh, yes, I see now how that could be done easily enough. The under-apron strap is sewn on oustide all the layers, and the right buckles appear to be hand-stitched on top. I assumed they'd be buried in something.

Thanks!

Oh my Rex, what a great deal you got. You certainly will be happy, and of course knowing full well that after the poor house is behind you, many more will come.

A handsome kilt and a host of cool accessories! Sounds like you indulged, but found some bargins at least to indulge in. Being frugal isn't being cheap, it's getting your money's worth. The kilt looks good on you and you should post soon wearing all the goodies you bought to go with it.

Cheers

With a cursory glance, I thought that was an Xmarks tartan kilt! Looking a bit closer, I can see the green on this monitor. Wonderful looking kilt. Don't ya love it when those pleats hang a straight as window blinds!

As for the cash.... did it all fit into one suitcase?!

Seriously, I think you got a great deal. This is the reward for all your hard work!

Congrats on the kilt and acessories. Don't worry about needing professional help-you're progressing nicely.

I've avoided green when wearing the Douglas Modern prefering to match the blue, don't want to overdose on green

Congratulations on al lyour aquisitions, you are truly addicted

The buckle tabs are always hand-stitched on top. The underapron strap is sometimes embedded beneath the lining, sometimes on top of the underapron. Sounds like you got a well-made, versatile kilt for a good price, and it looks great, too.
