    Kilt Number 5 has arrived

    Not as impressive as ham but you've got to start somewhere. With the outrageously hot weather we have been having, I didn't want to venture to Phoenix without a lighter kilt. So.....I called Rocky at USAK and rush ordered a Irish National Casual. It came today and I couldn't be happier. The material feels like anything but synthetic. Kind of a smooth cottony-wooly feel. It's kind of stiff and I suspect it will loosen up a little after a few washes. I've included a few pics. Putting on a casual kilt the first time is different without the waist where I would have put it. Glad I've got one. O'Neille







    Thanks for the nice kilt Rocky.

    Wow that looks great! I put in the same order last Thursday. I should have mine in a few days. I love the Ireland's National tartan. Can't wait for mine!

    Great look! I love my IN from USAK. Talk about a versatile, and rugged, kilt! And you have accessorized it nicely. Well done. I have 2 more USAK's on order, an Angus Harvey, my XMarks kilt, and a new SWK is not out of the question with the current sale!

    Just thought I'd point out (before Rocky invetitably does) that this tartan is the "Ireland's National" not the "Irish National." SWK sales the Irish National in acrylic. Both very similar in tartan. But, acrylic just doesn't hold a candle to the poly/visc. That being said, I'm pondering VERY hard about picking up a Wallace economy from SWK as we speak! lol. It'd be nice to have kilt numero 5. And, for $53 after shipping, WITH fringe and three straps? Fuhgetaboutit! Jerry's service is awesome as well.

    Oh, and I wore my new Ireland's National from USAK for the first time this evening. Went to eat then strolled through Wal Mart for some puppy stuff (I think the wee Winston get's more stuff than me! ha!) I bought an orange polo that matches perfectly. Enjoy O'Neill, I know I am :-)

    Congratulations on the new Ireland's National. It is a beautiful tartan. I found an orange, short sleeve polo that matches the shade of the orange stripe in the kilt perfectly. It really allows the kilt to stand out.
