Now I came across a cheep kilt at a car boot . Actually I came across 3 all very small but aduld kilts and all very old 1950's 60's may be . So I turned up the bottom of the MacLauchlan one about 6" so it would fit my lad. and put on some belt straps. It doesn't look to bad and hasn't last and weight as if I can just cut it.

Any way we went to Twin lakes park a few weeks back and a made him put it on . He wasn't happy about it but he still did it and had it on almost all day .


Frankly I think it looks better then my kilt.


He asked me to get him a house hair sporran for him as I said I was looking for 1 .
So when I got my one I got him one as well from the same person My one is stamped 1928 and I think his is a 1940 one. any way he said he liked it .


So we went out again last weekend to Matlock in Derbyshire. I asked him to put the kilt on again as I was going to have my one on . I pointed out he could put on the horse hair sporran. He was not happy about having to put on a dress as he puts it but yet again he did it and he looks great in it as well . he chinned about it again for some time threw out the morning but again when I got him no were just stopped and got on with the day.


I think its going to take some time or may be he will never like it . I was just wondering how you guys got your older kids in them. I know a lot of you have them in them from very young and its not you im thinking of its the older kids My son is 11. Do you have any advice for me . I have even told him I have a proper knife coming for him from the USA that he can have in his sock when it arrives " from X marks for sale section"

Im thinking as he knows the chinning gets him no were, the more he has it on the more he will except it. and people did quight like to see us both walking about both in kilts one woman even took our picture.

I do have a bike show In Edinburgh in Aug 9th and 10th and its a bloody long way so im making a week Holladay of it and will sleep in the van as accommodation is to expensive. I have told him every one on our UK 2 Strokes stand who has one I have asked to were a kilt. We will be out about all week and I want him to were it all that week when we go out to the zoo castles or wheat ever we do and he is happy with this .

I don't want him to think its only for this show that's why im trying to get him used to it now .
