A traditional Bear Kilt?

[TheFly]

As one who's witnessed Jimmy in this kilt (That's the one you wore to Finnigan's, right?) It's a VERY striking tartan.

I've been generally looking at more drab and earth-toned tartans for my future kilts. That one just opened my eyes to something outrageous.

By "outrageous", I'll assume that your eyes were only burned by the tartan?

Thanks too, Mychael! It's definately an "eye catcher". The thing is so gawdy that it's cool!

Hey Bear... have you thought about wearing it with one of the older Vancouver Canucks jerseys or t-shirts? The yellow and black would match well.

You DO remember the Canucks, right? Those guys on that extended vacation.

It's not an extended vacation Jimmy, they are mostly over in Europe playing for a few thousand dollars a year, so that they can fight a salary cap of a couple million a year. Wankers.

Are you talking about the old V jerseys?

I was thinking more along these lines

The latter one (Tony Tanti's #9?) is the one that I prefer. The old "V" model is just a little too funky for me. It's not like anyone needs a giant arrow pointing down to the kilt.

I already know (from experience) that it looks great with a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey.

I'd try it with a Penguins jersey, but I'd get shot around here!

EDITED: Okay... change the links to the actual pictures! I haven't thought of "Petrified" Skriko in years!

If the 'guins are a no go, I am surprised that a Steelers jersey is tolerated!

... I am surprised that a Steelers jersey is tolerated!

Heck, I thought everybody outside of Cleveland loved the Steelers!

As for the Steelers jersey in Philly... we'll see after next Sunday whether it's okay or not.

Update on the traditional kilt:

Due to time restraints, I've had to machine stitch too much of it for it to be called a traditional kilt. It's more like a very heavy 9 yd, 16oz Formal Cut.

On the positive side, I have found the excellent traditional kiltmaker for whom I have been searching. She was the first person to contact me 2 years ago and welcome me into the world of kiltmaking.

I should soon be offering the highest grade of traditional wool kilts. I've seen pics of her work in various tartans and can testify to her talent. If I remember correctly, she does something like 3000 blind stitches by hand just on the pleats!

I've been trying to find her again after I lost all my e-mails several months ago.

I'm quite relieved to find her and overjoyed that she is interested in making Traditional Bear Kilts!

Today was a good day.

Bear more good news. I have to say I am happy that you are growing even more.

[Jimmy Carbomb]

Okay then... let's just call them a Formal BearKilt. That's more correct anyway. With the quality of your work, my friend, you can call them whatever in the h_ll you want.

As for getting a trained "Traditional Kiltmaker", you sir are SOOOOO lucky! They're hard to come by over here!! I can only wish you speed in tracking her down!

Atleast you understand the terminology and respect.
