    It's here! My first Tewksbury has arrived!

    Yes, My very first Barb Tewksbury kilt (and kilt No.75 in my Kollection) was delivered on Friday. It is, of course, 'The Isle of Skye' in Lochcarron's Braeriach weight and pleated to the sett's central stripe. It is absolutely fabulous and I am so thrilled to have a superb 'Barb' in the Kollection at last.

    I am confined to barracks this weekend, but my photographer, Tri, managed to take two very quick photos out in the garden yesterday. Here they are for you to drool over!





    Thank you Barb, for a genuine work of art.

    That is very nice Hamish! Good work Barb.

    Aaahhhhhhh!. I'm so glad you got it, Hamish, and pleated to the no-stripe like pdcorlis' and mine. Those pleats are perfect! they hang as straight as a arrow and are exactly the same width all the way down from the fell. Barb's perfectionism is our delight!

    Looking very smart, Hamish. That's a really sharp looking kilt.

    Does it get any better than that?

    Barbs work is the paradigm of perfection and it shines brightly in your new kilt!

    Sunglasses may be advisable.

    Your admiration and mine are certainly justified Sir. Barb has created a work of art.
