USA KILT JONES and something very strange has happened.
Hey Y'all-
I decided that since Rocky is going to make our adopted Iraqi war vet a Black watch Semi-Trad (Thanks again Ken!!), that I would go ahead and get a casual kilt made for myself. I have a reason...Something very strange has happened.
Believe it or not, I only own 2 custom kilts (An assortment of off-the -rack as well). An 8 yard Isle of Skye tank, and a Matt Newsome Box Pleat. Both fit like a glove, and are effortless to wear. i also own 2 PV kilts from Scotland Kilt Company of which I've worn almost daily. I ABSOLUTELY love the material and durability of these kilts, and for 50$-I just couldn't go wrong and have been 100% satisfied....Until now.
I wore Matt's creation 6 days in a row. i just couldn't stop....On the 7th day, I went back to my PV and I noticed something. the fit wasn't just right like my Box Pleat. I never noticed it until after wearing MAtt' kilt. The fitted design was so awesome (Or maybe Matt puts anti-cheap kilts on ebay powder in them), but I was just getting annoyed. I thought a 2nd day would aleve this issue, but no...I HAVE to have PV kilts for the amount of stuff that I do during the day that might be hazardous to a regular kilt!!!
So I've ordered an Isle of Skye Casual from rocky this morning. i'm hoping that a fitted casual is going to repair this problem I'm having. If it does, then Caledonia tartan casual and an Albanach is next. Stay tuned-Josh
