Woke up this morning to a package on the table from scottishkilts.net. My 13 oz 8 yard, ancient Hay. Looks great, fits perfect, feels "liberating"

. I'll post pictures soon.

Zeytoun, You wear Ancient Hay? Bear made me an 8yd Ancient Hay just after the first of the year. I had a piper in Sean Donlans of Annapolis actually recognise the tartan. Boy, what a surprise!

Congrats Zeytoun! I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I'm Green with Envy! :mrgreen:
I know you will enjoy it.

Z... I ask you, are these NOT the BEST kilts made out there?!

I was FLOORED at the quality, fit and construction. I opted for the hand-sewn traditional, and don't regret the choice at all!!!

Donnie: yep, I'm a Gifford (or Giffarde if you prefer), sept of Hay. I love the look of the muted colors, so looks like we have at least 2 things in common.

Jimmy: yes, it is very well made, and fits perfectly. I was impressed, because I took my measurements myself and I am very picky about how things fit, and it was right on. I was going to buy a 16oz/8yrd from them, but they suggested a 13oz/8yrd and I'm glad they did because it's getting warm here. For the excellent quality and service, the price is better than most. I've never worn a kilt, so I have little to reference it by, but I can tell that it is a very fine garment.

I have a local kiltmaker downtown who was a little cheezed that I didn't by from him, but his was over $100 more expensive.

I'll upload a photo of the tartan to my gallery, and as soon as I get kilt hose and I iron a shirt, I'll put a picture of me wearing the whole thing. (Thinking of oatmeal colored hose, let me know what you think guys).
