Kilt lost battle with tree

[starbkjrus]

Ouch. My father designed and built large (and I do mean LARGE) textile machinery and from early childhood on I was warned what could happen with loose clothing around machinery. Glad you we're pulled in with your kilt!

At least with the noble attempt of saving the ladies, I am glad that you presonally survived. However after viewing those pictures, I sure would not like to see the tree, and what it looks like.

Sorry to hear about the damaged kilt. At least you weren't hurt. Things could have gotten messy if the kilt fabric hadn't torn.

I'll call up the piper corps. for amazing graze and taps for the funeral ceremonies..

Here is the "Rat Kilt" near the Tucson airport this morning. It was 108 and this is the lightest I own. Still managed to get a "I love your kilt" and another person hoping there was something Celtic going on in town. It was very freeing not to have to worry about it at all. O'Neille

It's hard to see the damage in that last pic. Think about this- we see torn and tatterd pants worn all the time. So whats wrong with a slightly tatterd kilt? Nothing, it's a garment to be worn, not a costume. This to me is one of the niches low priced kilts fill, having a kilt to wear when you dont want to risk a high end model.

In all honesty, I wouldn't consider that kilt dead at all.
If it were mine, I'd get a piece of fabric (or possibly
a fly plaid) from stillwater, and sew in a patch. I might
even use a different tartan for the patch. I would wear
it as a badge of honor, except not for formal occasions.

I have no doubt that any true scot would have repaired
such a wound. With the frugal reputation that scots
have, I bet you would have seen patches upon patches
before a kilt was retired.
