Livingston, The kilt I own is of the tarten "ancient hunter Roberts" I believe..? Funny story about getting the kilt. I was at a pub talking to some friends of my wife's. One of the girls has a Scottish husband, who's Brother was there. I was talking about looking for a kilt and she over heard me and remarked that Jimi (the brother) had an old kilt he doesn't wear any more (too small at the waist). I asked him the size, 35 inches, and I said "PERFECT, I'd like to buy it from him". He said "NO you won't, I'll GIVE it to ya".... then he said, "NOoo, I take that back I'll give it to ya for a case of Miller Lite...." I said "Your ON!!" I passed him a case of beer the very next day, and received the kilt! I wore it out to the pub after a few weeks, and a little maintenance (the leather straps had to be replace, I used a black leather belt cut to size). He was at the pub and remarked, "I'ee ya loook grrreat! I'm joost glad it has a goot home!"

I'll try to add a picture of the kilt being worn if I can figure out how....???
