Here's a shot of it being worn. Sorry it chopped my head off, but it's the best picture I could get with my camera by myself using the timer option.

Strathclyde district tartan, no belt loops or clasps so i need to adjust it every time I stand up and sit down. It's Feile-Beg style, around 4.5 yards, with large pleats. The kilt pin is a small penanular broach I forged myself. You can see my tartan fly on the seat of my exercise bike behind me.

I always marvel at the skill of so many members here and this is a fascinating piece of work. It reminded me of a programme I watched recently about making Samurai swords and the painstaking work involved. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the pic. It looks really nice.

The photo w/ your new sgian, being worn, looks like you have a bad fracture that is sticking out of you hose. Very nice. O'Neille
