    Wow Ron, I totally missed this entire thread, And it's in my section.

    I like the look. I remember when you ordered your first kilts from me and we spoke on the phone and you were totally unsure if you could ever pull off a kilt.

    Now your the poster boy for Tourism Arizona. Great outfit.


    A because the question was asked, here are the specs on Ron's kilt.

    Dress Model
    9.38 yards
    65%/35% Poly/Cotton
    12 oz., 2/2 Twll
    Maroon
    The apron is 17" wide
    There are 29 knife pleats
    The Sett is 8"
    Each pleat has a 1" reveal and a depth of 3.5"
    Ron asked that there be no pockets and no Logo

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    So only reletively minor changes to a standard FK. When is somebody really challenge Ashton? I thought my desert camo with anti-kilt lifting/checking properties was something but it appears all my kilts have that.

    Wellll, I never graduated; but I could have some serious fun with those threads since I still live here.

    Ron, the hose look great: are they the claret or the brick red? I'm overdue for a Hawick hose fix...

    Northwestern: purple and white. See Ron's purple thread,
    wherein I see his kilt and hose, and raise him one T-shirt.
