New Kilt from Bob

[English Bloke]

Well, apologies for the delay in getting this posted. My life seems to be extraordinarily busy at the moment.

And so.... My wife bought me a new Kilt for Christmas and I have to say, it is a beaut!! It's a made to measure, machine sewn, 8 yard, 16oz in Black Watch Weathered (Lochcarron Stome). I bought it from a chap called Bob Chalmers who has the ebay presence of Bobilishious. I've bought a number of Kilts from him now, both made to measure and ex hire, and I have not yet been disappointed. His made to measure Kilts arrive in a timely fashion, are very well constructed and a value that I don't think can be beaten.

I've been after one of these for a long time and almost pulled the trigger on one a couple of years ago but a minor crisis consumed my available readies so I was chuffed when I spotted this for somewhat less than I was going to pay then.

Anyway. Pictures were taken during a night out with chums so you might notice the odd drink in shot. My mate Doublewood is wearing an 8 yard, 13oz, hand sewn in Gunn Weathered (Lochcarron Braeriach). A recent aquisition of his (2nd hand via ebay).

Closer look...


Bit less flash glare, bit more like it actually is... Different occasion too for the eagle eyed.

They are beautiful Kilts both... but I like mine better.

That's the good news. The bad news is, My wife tells me that this is my LAST Kilt. She thinks 21 is enough and we have better things to spend our money on in these tough times. She's right of course so I'll bow to her greater wisdom. I'll still be out and about wearing my Kilts and submitting occasional reports of my adventures. I just don't need any new ones for at least 300 years! Apparently
