Very nice Pics. I have always wanted a wool Wallace kilt. I have the wear around the yard SWK economy model.
Great grandfather was a Wallace from PEI.

Actually no, it was ordered out of Pakistan as a "sample" before I found X-marks, and all of the great suppliers here. Some one mentioned The Frugal Corner, and bingo there is my "sample" http://www.thefrugalcorner.com/photo...ark-clergy.png !
Never underestimate a business guy; the "sample" kilt cost me more than the Frugal Corner would have! Ah, live and learn. 
As to the apron showing, this was only the second time I had worn it, at least I didna have the pleats in front! (Thank you, NightHawk)
As to the future of this kilt, I have worn it several more times, it is a fairly heavy weight kilt, very comfortable. It now hangs on the rack with two more from SWK, I am now Jonesing for Jackets......Maybe a ligher weight clerical tartan, a wool Lindsay, a handwoven Birse, maybe a couple of UK's.......Rabbit, What Rabbit?

You're welcome. Always happy to help where I can.
So- next word of advice from me: If you want a solid color modern kilt, I personally swear by Amerikilt. They're about half the price of a UK, and in my opinion, just about as good. They don't have as many pockets, and the material is lighter, but at half the price, you can't go wrong- two AK's for the cost of one UK. Here's the website: http://www.amerikilt.com/
And a picture of me in mine:
I had been crawling around battlefields for a week before this picture was taken, so I look baked and sun dried... so you'll have to forgive the frazzled appearance!
And a much better one (of me anyway!).
