If and when you do please let me know it worth the drive down. You would enjoy seeing the museum I'm sure of it, and the box pleated kilt suit really is something that I would love in my collection as well.

Hamish, according to expedia.co.uk it's around 200 quid return from LAX to Atlanta so next time you're in Palm Springs?

Still, £200 is almost a new kilt. Ooooh, decisions-decisions

Hope you make it. I'd love to go myself but currently lack both the excuse and the where with-all. I'd have to take my entire brood and from Manchester, that would run to a bit more than £200

It is kind of you to have checked that out John but, until this credit crunch thang is over, I doubt I'll be getting anywhere further than the Isle of Wight for a while - other than my already arranged trips to Edinburgh in July for The Gathering, and Dumfries in January for the Ferintosh Burns weekend, of course. Also, I came home from the USA with three more kilts than I went over with (photos coming soon), so it's going to take my Bank Manager a while to recover.

Take care,
Ham.

Hamish has three more kilts!!

**McClef** · 22nd April 09, 05:21 PM

I think a few of us have it on our future US itineraries Hamish!

Hmmmm....

I wonder if the jacket is about a 40-42 and the kilt a 34-36" ?

I also wonder what security measures Matt has at the Museum....

Hmmmmm...

Glen, as I said in your other thread, it was a pleasure seeing you and Catherine. I wish I had had more help when you came in (my usual Wed morning helped called in so I was quite literally on my own). I would have loved to have given you more of a "grand tour."

As you said, Friday when you returned we were so busy with folks I couldn't stand still. Glen did assist me with a few gift shop customers, making reccomendations for accessories, etc. I think I must owe you a commission!

Glad to know that you enjoyed yur visit and are back home safe.

To answer a couple of questions -- no we don't sell the London Scottish prints. That whole collection is on loan from Bob Martin. You may try contacting the LS museum.

And the tweed kilt outfit is Harris tweed, and no, not for sale. :-)

We could get you one very much like it, however...
