"ding-doing!" <---doorbell

The postman with a small parcel...

"Oh! how nice! the grouse claw kiltpin!"

"ding-doing!" <---doorbell again

Fedex with a somewhat bigger parcel

"Woops! the Maclaren 1819 ancient from TartanKilts.com (House of Edgar).

A full 8 yards 13oz...29 hand deep pleats.

I know...it's pretty flamboyant, but I love it!

Rock bottom broke now...

Whoa! Is that actually pink?? Or is it just the image and the colour is actually red?

**ByDand** · 28th February 06, 06:31 AM

That is a great looking kilt and pin! You may want to turn the pin the other way around as the feet of the grouses claw should be pointing down. You are going to be getting a lot of compliments when wearing that. What a fun day

Looks like they did a great job - very nice purchase...

not to sure if flamboyant is the right word there but it comes pretty damned close... will look up the word i mean when my eyes heal from that shocking PINK

Looking foreword to seeing your color choices with this kilt.

**GMan** · 28th February 06, 09:47 AM

Robin,

That is really a nice looking tartan, one that I never have seen. I do like it and the Kilt pin sure does look good with it!

Wow! Now that's a tartan I've never seen before...you gotta send us a pic of you wearing it because I'd be at a loss to figure out what shirt and sock combo to go with it....

Well, now you've done it! The MacLaren Weathered tartan hanging in my closet is calling out to me, "Make me, make me into a kilt as nice as Robin's." Do I give in to the siren call of the needle and waxed thread? or, do I suppress addiction's demands and knock out a half-dozen fur sporrans first? Whoever Jones is, or wherever he's from, he now lives with me full-time...

Great looking kilt - wear it often and with as much flair as the tartan displays.

Maclaren Weathered...

On top of my wish list...has to wait though...my credit card and my beloved wife must cool down for at least a couple of months now

Robin, I love it. As you say the colours will change with the light. The flash would have washed it out a bit.I would also like to see your choice of colours for shirt and socks. Great one mate.
