    I agree about the logo.. didn't have a seam ripper, but I'm going to do that. As for the "freedom..." I actually didn't have the nerve to go commando.. Ugggh! The other thing - I don't know how to say this, here it goes. If you don't go commando, and you wear briefs like I do, you kinda get a "pouch" protruding (if your not wearing a sporran - and I don't have one yet!). But when i got home, i whipped them off and let my boy go free, and guess what - my kilt laid better!!!

    The Kilt looks good, congrats on the new kilt, and on the USA kilt on the way, you might want to get yourself a sporran, but other than that it looks great.

    Tell me about it it took 6 weeks for my Isle of Skye to be made, and now I'm waiting for one from Rocky too.

    I LOVE that tartan. The MacQuarrie tartan has been on my list for a while. Matt Newsome wears one as seen in many of his pictures. The elastic thing has been what always turned me away from the Sportkilts. They have a couple of tartans I really like... but I just can't get past that. You are going to love your USA Kilt. I have three of Rocky's (USAK) casual models and love them. Enjoy. Great to have you aboard.

    Hey Bradley, I LOVE that henderson tartan in your photo album, and that AWESOME belt and buckle. Where did you buy that kilt? Can I say - you look stylish as hell and look cool as heck in all of your kilts. I want to grow up and be like you!!! You rock!

    Looks fantastic... Oh I like the kilt. Your next kilt? Why not try a camo from Freedom Kilts? Sort've mix things up if you're going to wear them at work, or a Black "shadow" tartan from Stillwater Kilts. the SWK would be the best bang for your buck at $120 for a wool kilt and previous day shipping. There is always a hemp or even leather from RKilts. These are alternatives to a traditional tartan, although the Stillwater is a traditional cut (worn high on the waist).
    Oh and show more pictures of your employees with you kilt!

    Welcome! And you will love the USAK! Rocky and Kelly do a great job.

    As for the "need" for a sporran, I regularly go out without one, especially when hiking and walking the dog. I have been looking for a belt pack to carry the necessities for those times. The sporran does complete the "look", but really is not that comfortable when doing any kind of serious activity, including brisk walking. And really, if they don't recognize it as a kilt, especially when made from a tartan fabric, the sporran is not going to change their minds.

    I love the "look" of the stillwater kilts, but they are WAAAAAY long.. I love the lamont weathered tartan, but they don't have it in my size it doesn't look like.... I hate to have to worry about hemming them
