WOO-HOO!!! IT'S HERE - IT'S HERE!!! WOO-HOO!!!

Celebrate with me, my brothers (& sisters)!

Strike up the fatted calf - kill the band, no, wait, I've got that wrong... anyway...

While I've been wearing a variety of UtiliKilts for the last 3 years, to celebrate half-a-century of living, I ordered my first honest-to-God, full-blown traditional kilt last month (Feb 4th, to be exact) & in less time than expected (just under 7 weeks), it arrived yesterday from Scotland. I just picked it up a couple of hours ago & it's a beauty - 13 oz. Strathmore in Robertson Hunting tartan (my clan). I ordered it through Arizona Kilts, whose owner, Graeme Niven, was immensely helpful & informative.

I didn't stop with just the kilt, though - you might say I went the whole nine yards, getting the matching plaid & flash, Prince Charlie vest & jacket, lined kilt belt & buckle, clan brooch, clan kilt pin, clan cufflinks, ghillie brogues, piper hose & frontier jacket! I already had the dress sporran, sgian dhu, jacobite shirts, plus tuxedo shirt & bowtie. The clan kilt pin got lost in transit, but the replacement should arrive any day now & I'll be ordering a new day sporran, soon.

I love my UtiliKilts, but a well-made traditional kilt is indeed a thing of beauty!

Pictures will be forth-coming... (sorry, I'm one of those few people still without a digital camera)
