St. David's National: a review

**Tattoo Bradley** · 10th February 07, 09:06 PM

As some of you may already know, from previous posts, I am quite the fan of USA Kilts' casual PV offerings. Due to past rave reviews from the likes of Ron MacDonald (Riverkilt) I purchased my first a few months back. It's been all downhill (for my wallet anyway

) since then. I now have three.

When Rocky introduced three new tartans in the PV range recently, I swooned at the thought of the St. David's sewn up for me. I have just a smidge of Welsh down the line on my paternal grandmother's side. But, none-the-less, like others, I like to honor it all. So, the St. David's seemed to be a great fit. Especially with it offered by Rocky and Kelly from MM's PV range.

So, I contacted Rocky last week. I placed my order plus tartan flash, an "Up Yours" T-shirt and a rush charge. I received my Cilt (hehe, it's a Welsh tartan so I guess I can call it a 'Cilt?') in record time (yesterday.) It has held up to the Rocky and Kelly's reputation (as if one would have any worries.)

So, I give you:

The St. David's National tartan cilt.

I immediately found the burgundy colour in the tartan to go perfectly with the maroon hose I ordered from Robin a few weeks ago. Paired with the maroon, merino wool shirt my mother-in-law gave me for Christmas, and the brown leathers. I felt it was a great combination.

The obligatory pleat shot. Rocky pleated mine to the sett and Celticranger's to the stripe (as he mentioned in another thread.)

And, here I am with my new pride and joy. I purchased this half-ton quad cab last month. It's the first "new" vehicle and certainly the nicest I've ever owned. I've always driven disposable autos. This is a great change.

Oh, and to quote Dreadbelly, all images go "clicky pop."

So, I'm one happy cilted camper. Thanks a million Rocky. That loud McLeod swatch you sent is calling me from it's spot in the trunk as I type this. I'm sure I'll be ordering up a "retina burner" before you know it.

Tb,

You know you have gone too far when you buy a truck to match your kilt outfit!

The St. David's looks great and you wear it well.

I am looking forward to my first order from USA kilts (hopefully when our tax refund check comes in or so says the F-H.C.A.G.)

I'd better get some better sunglasses because I want a "retina burner" too.

Thanks for the review.

Cheers

HAHAHAHHAAHAHA

As long as he doesn't buy a BRIGHT YELLOW house if he gets the "Retina Burner" MacLeod, he's OK.

Coincidentally, Nikki want's to paint the house yellow this summer.

But, it will be a FARRRR shade from the bright yellow of the "Loud McLeod" tartan.

Congrats Brad!! Well done on all counts, great kilt, great truck and great mother-in-law!

You look mahvelous!

I could never do the whole maroon thing, but it looks quite good on you. (Being a thinner sort) The kilt of course is just icing. Dood, you are coordinated.
