It really looks good Derek, it just shows how timeless the kilt is, I guess the secret of why it still fits must be all the walking you do, nonetheless it looks great, wear it well.

Fantastic! You look great in it and it looks like your lovely wife made a great job of that Cilt.
I'd wear that one happily!

Hi Derek,
I never realised that Elaine had such hidden talents. Give her my regards and tell her that I am impressed by her handiwork.
Regards,
Rob

Brilliant! It suits you well Derek. Congratulations to Elaine - next time I come to stay I'll bring a tape measure and a suitable length of tartan, some thread, buckles and straps, and .......
Take care,
Ham.
