Yes, my 65th was delivered this morning from 'Cornovi' in Cornwall. It is a full 8 yarder, 16oz wool in the Cornish National tartan and came complete with matching flashes, a St. Mylor Cross kilt pin and a Cornish sporran - a bumper bundle in fact!

Here are three photos taken very hurredly immediately after I removed the basting stitches. The first shows this delicious kilt being worn casually.....


The back , showing the neat pleating.....


Here it is, fully 'dressed up' with a GT Doublet et al.....


I still have to do research on the sporran which has 15 brass bezants and no tassels. It seems also that this is worn as both a day sporran and a dress sporran - I succumbed to wearing a chain for the latter as you will see.

Hawkeyes among you might notice that my dress belt has a Scottish thistle buckle - this is simply because it is the only dress buckle I have. Something else for my 'needs' list now! You might also have noticed the belt loops on the apron - in all my 55-odd years of kilt wearing, I have never come across this feature on a traditional kilt which, in all other respects, this is. Something else to check out - something peculiar to Cornish kilts, perhaps!
