No.82 in the Kilt Kollection
On Sunday, I was able to pick up kilt No.82 in my Kollection - the Weathered Red Gordon by Geoffrey (Tailor) of Edinburgh, and it is a stunner!
This superb traditional kilt is in 16oz Strome by Lochcarron and has the largest sett I think I have ever seen: almost 15 inches which, to my mind, gives the kilt an unusual appearance, one that I did not notice until I saw my own photos. Being 'weathered', the colours (shades of terracotta red, steely blue-greys, milk-and-a-dash brown, and black) are pale and muted - so beautiful. Of course, the kilt itself, lovingly tailored by Liz in the G(T) workrooms above the High Street shop, is a work of art. The pleats, with a 1" reveal, have an average depth of 3.75" making it truly a dream to wear.
So, to the photos:


...... and in a more casual mode:

Perhaps like most of us, I tend to fall madly in love with every new kilt (!), but I have to say that this one is likely to remain a 'first choice' for a very long time to come!
