It's Here - 9 yards of perfectly pleated Cunningham Tartan

Arrived yesterday from Hector Russell. Perfect to my eye - very pleased with the results.

A picture of me actually wearing it will have to wait until I have some time for a proper dress rehearsal - which in turn might have to wait for cooler weather.

And, despite the fact that I should be doing more important things:

Basically trying out the bits that aren't standard "kilt hire" material and going for a smart casual look. I went with the semi-formal sporran because I thought it lifted things a bit with the black hose and charcoal jacket, and the blue shirt was a definite experiment but I kind of like the result.

Looking good.
I'll be wearing my Cunningham tartan again soon!

That looks great! Congratulations.

Congratulations. Nice looking kilt.

**O'Searcaigh** · 30th July 13, 04:54 PM

Add one more to the congrats and looks great!

Way to go, and not to wait for a proper dress rehearsal or cooler weather! And what could be more important?

That's a beautiful kilt and you look great wearing it.

For subsequent pictures I suggest lowering the camera to about waist level or slightly above. It will give a better showing of the kilt and accoutrement.

Sweet, congrats on the new acquisition!

Looking good, Andy! Next in line, a Cunningham Hunting?

Probably not the hunting - not a big fan of the colours in that one. I actually really like the dress Cunningham tartan but I'd sit in something and get the white marked in no time at all....

It's unlikely I'll wear it often enough to justify a second kilt - if I do it's more likely to be something completely different - perhaps the Xmarks tartan...?
