As some of you may already know, from previous posts, I am quite the fan of USA Kilts' casual PV offerings. Due to past rave reviews from the likes of Ron MacDonald (Riverkilt) I purchased my first a few months back. It's been all downhill (for my wallet anyway ) since then. I now have three.

When Rocky introduced three new tartans in the PV range recently, I swooned at the thought of the St. David's sewn up for me. I have just a smidge of Welsh down the line on my paternal grandmother's side. But, none-the-less, like others, I like to honor it all. So, the St. David's seemed to be a great fit. Especially with it offered by Rocky and Kelly from MM's PV range.

So, I contacted Rocky last week. I placed my order plus tartan flash, an "Up Yours" T-shirt and a rush charge. I received my Cilt (hehe, it's a Welsh tartan so I guess I can call it a 'Cilt?') in record time (yesterday.) It has held up to the Rocky and Kelly's reputation (as if one would have any worries.)

So, I give you:

The St. David's National tartan cilt.


I immediately found the burgundy colour in the tartan to go perfectly with the maroon hose I ordered from Robin a few weeks ago. Paired with the maroon, merino wool shirt my mother-in-law gave me for Christmas, and the brown leathers. I felt it was a great combination.

The obligatory pleat shot. Rocky pleated mine to the sett and Celticranger's to the stripe (as he mentioned in another thread.)

And, here I am with my new pride and joy. I purchased this half-ton quad cab last month. It's the first "new" vehicle and certainly the nicest I've ever owned. I've always driven disposable autos. This is a great change.

Oh, and to quote Dreadbelly, all images go "clicky pop."

So, I'm one happy cilted camper. Thanks a million Rocky. That loud McLeod swatch you sent is calling me from it's spot in the trunk as I type this. I'm sure I'll be ordering up a "retina burner" before you know it.
