    From the look on more than a few peoples faces as we strode down 8th ave (what is it about weearing a kilt that makes you stride i wonder), i think many others had the same feeling - 6 burly guys in Kilts, black army boots & black coats .... was a lotta fun

    little did they know we had been comparing hemlines, pleat depths and fabric contents just a few minutes before

    Welcome to the strider from the Big Apple. Actually, I don't think there is a suitable alternative to striding in a kilt - anything else would just look weird!

    What's the tartan that you (or the person holding the camera-phone in the image) are wearing? (I am seeing a tartan, yes?)

    I thought that was Gunn!

    My Gunn tank is, well, built like a tank; so I am sure it will be looking good in 10 more years. I just hope I can still fit into it in 10 years. Marriage and desk jobs are making my kilts shrink.
