After what seemed like a long wait (it was actually less than expected...but you know the Jonesing feeling)...a package arrived from USAKilts. My wife, who pretends to be fed up with the kilt addiction, threatened to do something beyond awful, beyond drastic....

Thankfully, I intervened in time (she was just kidding anyway, she's the finest lass in the world. I mean, she let me get this kilt, even though we're in "recession mode"). And here's what was inside: Casual IOS kilt, matching flashes (hey, I LIKE matching flashes--whatever anyone else on forum says) and Lovett hose.

This is how it looks from the front

And the pleats

Informal look

And more formal look


I am feeling rather happy

And, besides my lovely lass, I want to thank Riverkilt for recommending the maker and inspiring me with jealousy seeing his IOS. Ron, I hope you don't mind my keeping up with the McDonalds.

And thanks Rocky and crew for a fine product!
