I must have been asleep at the switch for a while! I had the impression that you already owned and wore fully traditional cut kilts!

Anyway, it would seem that you've now been formally introduced!

Thanx Alan
Now that I saw what the Holyrood pleated to stripe looks on someone I have to go back down to may work shop and repleat the entire kilt cause that looks way better than to sett and I usually prefer to sett for myself.

Alan, CONGRATS! That kilt looks great. I always am amazed at the difference pleating to the stripe looks vs. to the sett. But for the larger setts, it is the only way to go.

Da..ed fine looking kilt ! To the stripe looks great in my opinion (which with $4.95 will get you coffe at starbucks - small coffee ...).

I really like that tartan. Darn, now I have to add another kilt to my list of things to buy. Nopadon is going to kill me!

An excellent, informative review. I had never heard of this supplier until now. It's a beautiful tartan, and you where it very well.

Considering your review, I'm seriously considering their Douglas, maybe even in wool. The price is still amazing.

Thanks Alan, for your courage.

One of the joys of this board is that someone else can take the risk of dealing with an new overseas crafstman :grin:

Very sharp looking.

Can't tell from the pics, but it looks like the belt loops are a tad tight on your wide belt....?? Or it may just be the angle of the pic...

Can you speak to the width of those belt loops?

I'm guessing if someone needed them wider, Davy could do that.

Thanks,

Ron
