Gotta be the weathered Gordon in my avitar thingie from The Celtic Croft. Wound up in their sale section somehow and was just my size. Love it.

That is, other than the "free" shirts, hose, Skien Dubh I've received for birthday and holiday gifts from loved ones who humor my kilt addiction.

Mine, so far, is the kilt I'm wearing in my avatar. I got it on ebay from David Pope (Thanks, David) for $144. 13 oz House of Edgar Drummond of Perth rare and ancient tartan sewn by Geoffrey (Tailor). Fits great and is 25" long.

My latest and greatest would be this little number I picked up on eBay for CAN $45 including shipping:



Seller said it was a polyviscose Pride of Scotland. It doesn't feel like any of my other PV kilts. PV feels real luscious to my hand, even nicer than a soft wool. This kilt feels like a rustic tablecloth type material, perfectly comfortable to wear, but a stark contrast to PV. I guess its a cotton blend. As to its tartan, the jury is still out. The colours are similar to POS, but what's with the double white line?

The label says that Heritage of Scotland produced it, that it was "designed in Scotland", declares it to be an "authentic woven tartan" and claims that it will fit "age 11-12".

It fits me as well as any of my custom made kilts and the workmanship is near level with a USAK. Best of all, I have an Italian made wool driving cap in a purple that exactly matches that of the kilt. Not bad for under fifty Canuck bucks!

Nancyman,

The Heritage of Scotland website calls the tartan of your new kilt the Heritage of Scotland tartan. See it here:

I know this may sound silly with all this talk of wool kilts, but in the summer sometimes I feel like my Sport Kilt is a blessing just because it's so light weight and comfy ... lol.




Also, I purchased the phillabeg from the Celtic Croft, and it's light weight feels good too.

I'm waiting on 4 meters of the 11-oz Douglas from F&K at $6 CDN a meter. If it's anywhere near what I expect, THAT will be a bargain.
