An interesting interview with Howie Nicholsby

[Hamish]

So, as I remember it, you're collecting the Craig ancient. So, what will you put on his plate next Ham?

It was not a good day actually, Bradley! Yes, I was going to collect my new Craig a/c kilt, but I was rather more intent on giving my order for a new 3-piece TFCK kilt suit! As it happened, my kilt was not ready for me due to a delay in getting the tartan in - the kiltmaker had rejected the original length the mill had supplied! So the Craig and matching flashes are having to be sent on to me later. Oh well, I should be consolled by the arrival of Barb's Isle of Skye this coming week!!

I did manage to place the order for my next one (the kilt suit) in spite of the chaos that reigned in the hotel Showroom, the result of an earlier fire-alarm two hour evacuation of the building! Howie measured me but the assistant did everything else. I have chosen a super navy-blue worsted suiting material with a fine grey or silver pinstripe running through it. The suit will consist of kilt, jacket and waistcoat with antique celtic buttons. It will not be ready until mid-May - in good time for Howie's wedding in June however!

Well Hamish I do hope your new kilt from Barb arrives this week and that you don't need to wait too long for the delayed Craig ancient. The three piece suit sounds nice; looking forrward to seeing the pictures in due course.

Good video. It was a bit campy but it shows the kilt can be fun. I did like to listen to everyone's opinion.

Thanks for posting the video Ham. I found it very entertaining and informative. That's what I like about this forum one learns something new every day.

I enjoyed the video Ham. Howie came across as both knowledgeable and a pleasant fellow. I liked the old lady in Scotland that preferred tartan kilts (especially the McPherson tartan ).

Can't wait to see your next 21st Century Kilt aquisition!

Cheers
