Turkeys are very fast.

No surprises with duty surcharges. It was free shipping, and I got it all for $297. Compared to $450 for Locharron Strome

You've really got to look close to see the difference.

Thank you! I'm excited. Too bad my savings plan is taking SO long, but I'm working on it! I really appreciate your sharing!

Good looking kilt. I too have a kilt made of 16oz HoE Nevis range tartan and agree with the assessment that it just feels slightly more coarse to the touch than most other tartans I have felt. Just a little less refined than Lochcarron STrome or STrathmore or Dalgleish in comparable weight. They also use a tuck in selvedge in that range which sometimes can leave a prominent and/or fuzzy bulge about 3/8 inch up from the lower edges of the kilt---mine sticks out a bit if you are looking at it closely but is otherwise fine, although I have heard others have had more troublesome appearences with this kind of selvedge in some tartans.

Wear it in good health.

Yeah, you can hardly see the selvedge in my Strome kilt.

Great looking kilt, George. What exactly is a Balmoral?

Do turkeys wake one up at the crack of dawn?

Balmoral is what The Scotweb store calls their 8 yard kilts.

Our turkeys gobble whenever they hear any high pitched noise. You should hear them while I practice bagpipes.

The rooster really sets the day off, more than our turkeys.
