    Nice pictures by the way!

    I have a Sportkilt Navy Edzell that I wear for Heavy Athletics (did 8 years as a SWCC--its what happens to you AFTER you spend WAY too much time at Eskimo Joe's in Stillwater!) , but I REALLY would like to find a good wool version at an affordable price. Let me know if you find anything.

    Here--just to add to your 'jones" :

Kinda made me appreciate my own bed when power came back!

    But I love the kilt, I'd like to find out which tartan that is. I really like the dress tartans.
    WOW! We didn't have anything that severe.

    Nice pictures. You look very pleased. It would be nice to know what the tartan is but if you don't want to tell us then fair enough.

    That is the Michigan State University tartan. It was developed back in 2005 to commemorate the 150 "birthday" of the school's founding in 1855. I went to school there (probably an obvious statement) and is also the reason for my screen name.

    Cheers mate. I was about to zip over to the Scottish Register of Tartans and progressively work through the thousands stored there till I found it... but then became totally daunted by the prospect. It is a lovely tartan and you look tremendous in it. Nice one!!

    I can't even imagine looking over all their tartans! I wouldn't even know how to begin doing so...although, if you did you would find it listed under MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY:-) Might have taken awhile to get to the "M" section though.

    Click the clickety link in my post above... I found it using "Michigan", but only after your prompt.

    Ooh, I graduated from MSU in 1982! Go Spartans! And I really like the tartan, aesthetically as well as the meaning. Oh, oh....another excuse for a kilt.
