    Just wait until I get some outdoor pics, I think the sunlight really picks up the colours (especially the blue & green)

    Thanks again!

    LOOKS GREAT...I dont have a Keppoch although one of my Macdonald ancestor's was from the Rannoch area and said to be possibly from the Keppoch branch. You can tell alot of perfection went into this kilt.

    Thank you for the kind compliments!

    As an aside, the one low for me is that I'll have to send back my Ancient Red trad' garter ties & exchange them for the extra-large size. It appears that my calves are a tad too large for them to be worn properly

    Other than that though, I'm loving my new kilt!

    Looks great, Terry! Thanks for the detailed photo-essay of the "end of Jones" experience. :-)

    Yeah, the t-shirt photo was a bit more "casual" than I usually go wearing the kilt (usually my idea of casual is a short sleeved Dickies mechanics/work shirt). The t-shirt was being worn under the sweater, but I removed the sweater to show off the leathers to full effect
