I suppose your nickname wasn't Tattoo Bradley while you were in the USAF?

Good pick, BTW

I've already got mine in fact it was the first kilt I ever had, Hand-sewn in Scotland

Tartan: Gunn Modern
Weight: 16oz
Yardage: 8yards
Customization: New Straps and buckles.
Why: It was sewn up in 1950 for my father in Aberdeen by A&J Scott and co. and was given to me a few years ago, my Grandmother was a Gunn and it was my Dad's kilt, having a true family heirloom like this one is very special. I asked Peter from Canadian Casual Kilts to put new straps and buckles on it as one side had fallen off. Peter graciously said he would do it for me.

I think that is because all of the Chattan Clans have really nice tartans. I would be more than willing to wear any of those tartans. The Chattan tartan is in a lot of ways extra. I'm thinking about it as a Matt Newsome Box pleated kilt, but a full on military box pleated tank would be Awesome!

Hi All,

...to keep my regimental weight Seaforth boxer company in the wardrobe:

Douglas Grey
16 ounce Lochcarron Strome
4 (@= skinny butt) yd box pleat to the sett if possible.
Double layer outer apron (this works for our -20F Burns Supper)
Fringe (Sorry Matt- gotta have it).
Matching bias cut waistcoat.

I've got color matched thread. Now to score some tartan!

Cheers,

Kevin.

Tartan: ITI# 7637 (Ryan O. Ross)
Weight: 16 ounce
Yardage: 6 yards
Details: Kingussie pleated
Why: I dreamt of the above kilt for at least four years. I wanted the most unique kilt possible- namely, one in an obscure tartan, with unusual pleating arangement. After four long years, I may be more proud of this kilt than I well should be:
