    Don't forget about the Scottish Tartans Authority's Kilt Passport:

    Our own Matt Newsome provides them with each of his kilts.

    Cheers,

    Okay Efer,

    I have five hand sewn kilts by Kathy Lare, the Macdonald Lord of the Isles Hunting, Macdonald of Kingsburgh, Cameron Black and Red, X Marks the Scot, and this new Scott Modern Red. These are my deep clan colors.

    This fifth kilt is the first that has had the card with it - the newness is why I posted...happening both for Kathy and Steve Ashton at Freedom Kilts within a few weeks. Maybe because both are USMC families...they know class....

    All three of my USA Kilts semi-traditionals have USA Kilts tags in them. They're between the inside and outside apron - easy to miss if you're a pull on guy instead of a strap on guy.

    And Aye Todd,

    I have a kilt passport...But I got mine from Scottish Tartans Authority when I enrolled. Its not filled out by the kiltmaker. Cool if Matt fills them out and sends them with his kilts.

    That's a very nice extra personal touch. Kudos to them.

    That is a really classy touch, Ron. Good for Steve and Kathy for making the kilt a personalized deal.

    Okay, then this is #925. She didn't do the cards or numbers for the other four kilts from her.

    Won't be long until kilt #1000 is looming. That should be special!

    I must admit this is a nice tough if your kilts are destined to survive the present owner. I suggest writing the date on the card when the kilt was received and arching them... in a photo album perhaps.
