Kilts Nos: 75, 76 and 77 are on their way!
Hot on the heels of the delivery of my 'Bro-Leon' kilt from Brittany, I received an E-mail from Barb Tewkesbury advising me that she has mailed my 'Isle of Skye' 8 yarder from up-State New York! This should be delivered here in about a week or so. ... How can I wait that long?!!
Next Saturday, I go to London to meet up with Howie Nicholsby and will be taking delivery from him of my 'Craig (Ancient Colours)' 8 yard Lochcarron Strome kilt from Geoffrey (Tailor), Edinburgh. (At the same time, I will be choosing the fabric for a fourth kilt suit from TFCK to wear to Howie's wedding in June!)
Last, but by no means least: next month Robert of R-Kilts in Ontario, Canada will be personally delivering the second leather kilt he has made for me. This one is in his gorgeous 'Bronze' leather. Robert and his father are very kindly making a special detour from their visit to Holland to spend two days with me in Storrington. What kind of service is that?!! 
Have I won what? Oh, the Lottery! No. No, unfortunately I have not - but I have not had any new kilts since last October!

You know, this is almost akin to a football match where one side decides to just keep running up the score... Hamish, we'll never catch up to you this way! 
#74 looks great - I'm sure the next three will be super, too! Congratulations!

We will never manage to catch up with you Hamish and you know that when kilt makers come to you you are indeed a legend. 
The more kilts you have on order, the worse the jonesing gets. I'm jonesing for two and that's difficult enough!

Oh Robin, I forgot the Ranger belt! Yes, Robert is bringing me one of those also.
And my apologies to you, Robin. I said that Robert and his father were on a visit "to Holland", when I should really have written "to The Netherlands"!

We're going to have to start a special thread: "How do you dress with your Isle of Skye Kilt?"
Hamish, you are going to be one very happy kiltie when you get Barb's product. I am jonesing for your review.
