The Bruce Hunting has arrived...

[English Bloke]

Following on from the "New Kilt Ordered" thread My new Bruce Hunting arrived this morning. The hue is a bit lighter than I expected, a bit more 'ancient' than 'modern' at least in comparison to my other Bruce Modern which is Lochcarron Strome. The sett size is also smaller (7 inches [18cm] as opposed to 10 inches [25.5cm]... that's stripe to stripe ). This Hunting kilt has 26 pleats, (it's seven and three quarter yards long) and made up out of an eight yard custom weave. It came with triple fringes and matching hose flashes.

The maker's label.

This is a special weave by D.C Dalgliesh and is in 15oz, K1 heavyweight fabric. It's made to measure and machine sewn. The fabric quality and workmanship is absolutely superb... and the fit is spot on. I'm not advertising this company but I am happy to report superb quality at a fantastic and to my mind, unbeatable price. Please do your own comparisons.

I'll post some pictures of it out and about later.
