Carolina Kilt from SC in NC!
Here is the promised pic of my recently finished Carolina Tartan Kilt.
It was taken on Tartan Day at Bridal Falls, just north of Highlands, North Carolina. on the road to Frankiln, NC.

Sorry for the wrinkles, I had just driven from Clinton (where I live) and hour to Greenville, South Carolina, then another couple hours to get where the pic was taken.
They "fell out" fairly quickly.
16 oz worsted wool is GREAT stuff!!!!! The tartan material itself is the remnant of a custom run for a pipe band made through the Scottish Tartan Museum by Lochcarron. I got lucky and got some of it from Matt.
By the way, the kilt is a Wages-made hand sewn one. (Made by me)
I am wearing a prototype Dreadbelly Special on my head. He was (at my request) experimenting with a woven in drawstring, as described/mentioned/referenced in some old contemporary descriptions of Highland bonnets. If interested, I have close-ups of that too.
