His team has great fashion ideas that are well received with the younger generations, who are even taking traditional ideas and blending them with individual flare to create new and exciting approach to kilt wearing.

    I've always thought this was a great, contemporary look:



    If I had occasion (and $$$) to wear "business attire" more often....

    He mentioned to me at the Stone Mt. Highland Games in October that this was in the offing. I wish him well - He has been eager to hang out his own shingle.

    It might be an idea to call him first Alan, to be sure the shop is open. Last time I spoke with Howie, he was wielding a paint brush at the top of a step ladder! Be sure to give us a report of the new set-up ...... we are agog!

    At least he is not now so far from the Assembly Rooms - just around the corner, in fact!

    I doubt I will be there before I'm in town for The Gathering in July, by which time I hope he will be well-and-truly settled in.

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Having five, I am very much in favour of Howie's TFCK kilt suits! Here are three of them:

    Navy blue pin-stripe -


    Grey worsted pin-stripe -


    and a gorgeous country tweed -


    Take care,
    Ham.

    Ham,

    Bad man!

    A pin stripe TCK kilt suit is really beyond my means, but perhaps someday.

    In any case I'm sure Howie would be delighted to see them worn so well!




    Cheers
