Prince of Wales Semi-Trad

[keepoffgrass]

I got my Prince of Wales semi-trad pleated to the white stripe today! Its great! Rocky and Kelly did another fine job. I didnt take any pictures yet, but maybe tomorrow or the next day if I can talk my fiancee into taking them. The white stripe looked a little over powering at first my girl said, but when I put the kilt on and walk around the kilt really comes to life. When it sways the kilt seems to "flash" from the muted white tones from the stripe to the dark dark green and red of the covered part of the pleat. The contrast is amazing in motion she says. Im kinda bummed that I cant see it in motion for my self though. Great kilt! fits perfect! a real work of art with this one. Thanks Rocky and Kelly! great timing too! got it the day after my bday!

Gee, maybe THAT'S why we're seeing so many piccies of guys with the pleats in the front - they want to see the pleat action for themselves!

Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing the pics of your new kilt - with the pleats wherever you choose to have them, of course!

I'm pretty sure Kelly made that one up (credit where credit is due). I'm glad to hear you like it and it fits so well!

Just put it on with the pleats in front and walk backwards, Duh! Or let someone else model it for you.

maybe you should send pics front and backwards so we can all be there when you see the movement .

Yeah, its a really nice kilt. I didn't get around to taking any pictures yet though. I forgot my camera yesterday. I did wear it out and about all day though. I had several things to do yesterday and got quite a few compliments on it. I had a baby shower to attend, I didn't want to go, but Tabby, my fiancée made me I always thought men weren't aloud at those things, but pretty much all the ladies dragged there men to this one, so at least I wasn't alone. But after that, we went a movie and saw "Shooter" then had to run into a few stores and pick up some random stuff. Shopping and a baby shower, not my best day, but at least she agreed to balance the day out with an assassin movie eh? ha ha Anyways, after we went to Walmart, and while in there a nice elderly couple stopped me and asked if I was from Scotland. I said no, just of Scottish decent. We talked for a few minutes while we were in line, and he said that his wife was from Edinburgh, and that it was nice seeing someone in a kilt. Then we went to Kmart, that was probably the most interesting part of the day. The girl working the cash register to a step back eyed me up and down and said, "Wow, I like that outfit! thats nice!" I was wearing the kilt, black kilt belt and sporran, a red teeshirt that matches the kilt really nicely, and cream hose smashed down at my ankles. But the funniest thing happened while we were walking threw the store. What appeared to be a "gypsy" woman was walking up the isle and eyeballing me pretty blatantly, then as we passed she turned around to keep watching me and walked into a rack of clothes and almost fell. It was pretty unusual, as you can imagine Gypsyies aren't really common place over here (neither is a man in a kilt though for that matter) but it was pretty funny. My fiancée got quite a kick out of that one. But that was pretty much my first kilted day in the Prince of Wales tartan

HAHAHAHA! Oh man, that's awesome. I just KNOW that is going to happen here some day (minus the gypsy.)
