New kilt to sport kilts, yeah!

[J Pendleton]

I too, ordered a USCG Tartan sport kilt (for women) and as someone who has the first run in wool, I am very impressed with the match in terms of the intensity of the blue. It is a perfect match to my wool kilted skirt. I bought the sport kilt because there are some Highland Games where the combination of weight and length of my wool kilted skirt are enough to make me melt. We attend many Highland Games throughout New England; it'll be nice to have a choice!

Thank you, too, for sharing about LL Bean's Americana shirts being on sale. I have a shirt as well that I wear with jeans and it's nice that people are starting to notice that it is the Coast Guard tartan. That was the reason for the project initially.

Remember, Tim, if you compete, I hope you get someone to take a pic!

In the meantime, I will have to take a picture of my husband's sword case. We used some of our tartan material to line it; it looks sharp.

Wow! Can't believe I missed this thread. Congratulations on joining the CG Auxilliary from from a Coxswain in the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary. Don't know if it's been posted before but here's a link I came across long ago about converting a uniform jacket to a kilt jacket.

Makes me wish my dress blues still fit so I could modify the coat for a kilt.
