Now the waiting begins

For my birthday my wife has ordered me a SWK Standard in the Irish National Tartan, and seeing as I am on vacation this week I will be home when the post man delivers it.

. I just hope I don't scare the :crap: out of her when she shows up with it and I go running out of the house the greet her

Yes, waiting for a kilt is part of the excitement.

the oly good thing about waiting is that youare waiting for an SWK, it could be there any minute.

I dunno know about that Sir, last time I ordered on Friday Morning it didn't get there until Monday lunchtime. Guess that Jerry was too lazy to drive down to the beach and drop it off at me shack on the way.

I mean really it's only a 30 hour drive

O.K. Seriously, Jerry is durned fast. But that Black watch heavyweight took me by surprise. I thought it might be like by leatherneck "heavyweight", but i had to regrip the box to pick it up. The first time I grabbed the parcel nothing happened.

Happy new kilt!! I love my Irish National and wear it to work once a week. One of my favorite garments.

Oh, heck...a little excitement will do her good!

**MacTavishOfJapan** · 6th August 07, 05:46 PM

LOL!!! I had to wait 4 months for mine!!!!

Congrats and enjoy the kilt when it comes. Xmarks demand pics!

Well it arrived today and as promised here are some pictures. PLease bear in mind that my wife is not the best with a camera, and I was already told that the shirt does not go with the kilt but seeing as it's laundry day it's all I had left.

So as you can guess I am one happy laddie today.

So let the comments and suggestions begin..

Your hose are a little uneven, and I don't like white hose---but other than that, I think you've got a dang fine start. (I think the left leg's hose is about right.) Oh, and you've got the poses down bang solid.

Thanks for the comments, I kind of knew they were uneven after the pictures were taken,

What color hose would you suggest, I'm still kind of new to this and my wife will tell you that I am not really good at color coordination..

Well you can always match the hose with your shirt, but for the Irish National you could always go for Black, Dark Green, or Lovat Green for a start. I've got some hose from this ebay seller that are great for the summer, and they have a ton of colours.
