    I have. Just after I took those photos, I changed out of the shirt (an ultra-suede button-down) into a black polo and swapped the dressy shoes for some low Doc Martin's. I was going to a dive bar, so I didn't want to look, um, out of place.

    Barb, thank you for my best kilt yet! I am SO glad we didn't go for pleating to the lawn chair. The sett is a good size for my wide bum even though with these colors, there's no missing it! The length is perfect. I must have been feeling a little fat on the day that I took the other measurements, though, since it's perfect around the hips, but I could have nipped in the waist just a bit. It is not at all a problem, though; I know I'll make use of the extra capacity often enough. The extra quarter inch above the buckle and the additional flair make this kilt oh-so comfortable. It feels secure without any sensation of constraint or slipping. I just love it! And thank you for the precision flashes, too! They just complete the total package.

    Are you ready to talk about the next one?

    Alan, which, the sun-bleached one or the bog-tanned one?

    I appreciate everyone's comments. Thanks much, but the only thing I can take credit for is the moustache.

    For anyone on the fence about making the investment in one of these puppies, I just have to say that it is a frugal choice and worth saving up for.

    Regards,
    Rex.

    Nope, I double checked, it wasn't me. I didn't dis Rex's tartan; in fact, I said I was moss with envy...

    I think it's great that Rex was able to find his tartan and looks good in it. Glad that Barb made it for him too.
    I'm still moss with envy.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Rex, my apologies for coming late to this.

    What stunners! Yes, the kilt is one and you are the other. Congratulations on your fine choice of tartan and (it almost goes without saying, but must not) kiltmaker, Barb.

    By the way, the black accessories work VERY well - have no regrets!

    Take care,
    Ham.
