    In answer to your questions: The boots are cheapies I got at a Big 5 Sports, the sweater was purchased in the Galway, Ireland, and the tat is pictured here

    Best regards,

    Monkey, very nice camo kilt. How great was it that they had your size and you only had the shipping time jones to deal with.

    Try a military surplus/supply store. If you don't like the actual military boots they usually have stuff like Hi-Tec for security services. I got a pair of used black leather Army boots in great condition, great quality for about $9 that fit really well.

    I think the tree behind you has pretty much max'ed out the hole in the deck.

    That is one of the nicer looking camos.BTW.

    What a great score!

    You might try the Black and Decker Gizmo steamer deal to tame those curly pleats. I've had good luck with UK pleats by attaching weighted clips to the pleats while they hang dry.

    Blue, Good eye. We do need to do something about the deck.

    Ron, I suspect this one is definitely prone to pleat curl. The fabric is lighter than my other UK's and wrinkles more too. We'll see after the first wash, but I may just have to take a live-and-let-curl attitude towards it.

    Best regards,

    Jake
