New UK Corduroy, pic and thoughts

[arrogcow]

Can anyone describe the red colour accurately for me please?

I have been wondering that myself. I am finally working a UK show this weekend (Origins in Columbus OH) , so hopefully will have one to see. I recently bought (e-bay - Mar) one of the limited run dark brown ones they did last summer before introducing the line. It is the softest, most comfortable UK I own. The only thing that keeps it from being perfect is I want it with the Workman's style pockets (been begging Steve for over a year).

I am hoping that once I see them in person the red or blue will not be as bad as they look on the computer because I could really do with another of these cords. Tan is out, I always stained kakhi pants, and never wore the one tan UK I briefly had (ended up selling to Sav - remember Sav - what happened to Sav).

If I remember to take my camera I'll try and get a pic with a couple of other kilts in frame as well so there is a color reference.

I really like my tan cord UK; I wear it more than any of the others I have. If you think it feels good now, wait until after a few washes when the fabric is broken in.

Hamish, the red cords are pretty red but not terribly bright; think slightly faded Royal Stewart. Its one of those colors that not many people could wear well, but with the right skin tone it looks smashing.

Looks nice Andy. I have been eyeing the cord UK since someone else posted pics about 3 months ago, can't remember who.

And Ham, it appears to me that the red is VERY RED!

As has already been said the red is nothing but RED. It would be perfect to wear during a Red Dress Run.

Ithaca!!?? See, I KNEW that was a "preppy" kilt.

Thanks Andy.

Saw the red cord one too...there should be a word redder than RED to describe that red...Red on Red...Super Red...red reflecting red....

Ordered a UK original in tan corduroy last Tues.

Wore it to the office at the university. Not a soul commented! Must be used to me in a kilt.

OOOO! Tan corduroy! Looks good! Would that be warmer than denim? I still want to go out for nightly walks once I get my kilt - regimental - and I'm wondering how to keep warm on cold winter nights here in the desert.

Umm....do you wear it on non-casual days at the university? Are universities okay with kilts??

I haven't got a denim UK so I can't comment on the warmth issue.

The university is quite relaxed about dress. I'm a prof, so we don't have the same kind of dress codes as admin folk. I have received many favorable comments about my tartan kilts. The students love it. I can also use it in classses to talk about stereotypes and social construction of gender through clothes . . . all that kind of good stuff!
