Jonesing a bit

[Robin]

I ordered a World War I (replica) kilt apron and a leather jerkin from https://onlinemilitaria.net/shopcontent.asp?type=home

Really looking forward to get and use them

That's pretty interesting. I'm sure there will be pictures to come?

Robin jonesing? You seem such a cool and collected fellow.

That is a nice-looking vest. I've considered it before myself. And that kilt apron will be just the thing for protecting your kilt when doing your Kraftwerk.

We must both be on a vest wavelength. I just bought a navy blue wool vest from a sutler at a civil war re-enactment this past weekend. It's a repro of a Union army vest, complete with brass buttons and mandarin-style collar.

The kilt apron I ordered is the "full wrap-around" UK khaki cotton 1914 version


like this...

Will keep my kilts clean when working

I'll use the leather jerkin as a wind breaker jacket and I think it will just look great on a kilt.

Both were on my wish list for a long time now.

very cool idea....I might have to get one for when I am working in one of my kilts!

Robin, I love that pic of the 6th GH. Do you have a higher res version, or a web url where I can get it?

thanks.

And Ron, here's another example you can show your CEO of people kilted at work.

Btw...someone knows what kind of hose...(or are those some kind of spats?) the guy is wearing on the picture...it looks like 2 straps.

Just wondering...

[turpin]

Those look like the tops of some leather or canvas Puttees/spats. Or very high boot tops. Todd will know if no one else does.

Looks good Robin-very practical
