Show us your "Great Kilt" (belted plaid) pictures

[fluter]

Every time I see this picture I think how magnificent it is. I'm assuming that's the Isle of Skye tartan? And did you simply buy a length of tartan from somewhere to achieve this?

Would anyone mind posting some measurements of length and width for the material they are using?

I believe that it's the Albannach tartan from USA Kilts.

My BP is about 54 inches wide, by 5 yards of Celtic Croft's homespun fabric. It's not quite wide enough to make a hood from the fabric in back (I'm just under 6 feet height), but otherwise works fairly well.

Here are mine... taken a few of years ago (at witnessed by the extra 23 pounds !)

These pics have been posted elsewhere on the forum, but since the situation calls for it, I will add to the fun.



A slightly older picture of me looking rather mean and sunburned



Another pic of me at an event this past summer.....in my own defense, I admit that I had arranged the top half of my belted plaide rather haphazardly, but trust me, the pleats looked fine, even though you can't see them :-)




One time, some jerk rudely explained to me that I didn't know how to properly wrap up a great kilt. (please refer to picture #2)
So, I figured that the best way to tell that jerk to go pound sand, was to invest the help of my friend Patrick (he had never worn a bp before) who was kind enough to model my kilt pleating abilities with a newly acquired length of tartan.



Ahh.........A jaunt into a small redneck logging town to obtain provisions- bread, potatoes sausage and beer......ahh.....the perfect rations to keep a young strapping Highland soldier in good spirits. Please note the period correctness of my watch and glasses!

Thanks for looking!

This first pic is when I was a moustachioed piper with the Reddshanks back in the Dark Ages:



This is a pic of me with a Buchanan buddy after I had piped at a library exhibition on Tartan Day. Yes, I played my pipes at a library and the Universe almost burst into flames.

This was taken a number of years ago (at witnessed by my hair!), but I've always liked this picture.
