Sorry guys, but Kilt No.66 just arrived!

Yes, it's true, and I don't really know how to break the news to you gently! You must be getting sick to death of my new kilts arriving. If it is any comfort, you will be able to sleep soundly tonight because no more are expected for four weeks or so......

Let me quickly tell you about No.66, and then I'll creep quietly back into the woodwork: OK, so it's the long awaited Snakeskin leather kilt from Howie at TFCK. The prolonged delay has been caused because matching skins were unavailable until very recently. Let me say right away that the 17 week wait has been well worth while! I really do not care if you think it looks odd or strange - it is simply GORGEOUS to wear. It is very light for a leather kilt and it 'moves' beautifully. At this point I must let you into a secret, but please do not tell anyone (!): it is not genuine snakeskin, but fine pigskin that has been textured and printed to feel and look like the real thing - it even has tiny scales. Five-and-a-bit skins were used in the construction of this super six-yarder!

It has been a busy day, but I rushed 'Tripod' to take some photos (I think you can tell that he hurredly snapped away without due care and attention, but he's promised me more lens-time at the weekend. You have been warned!) You might notice that I did manage to slip in a quick-change without him being aware of it. Right! So here they are:

great looking kilt. Would make for a fantastic formal kilt, methinks! ( ok, so that last bit about the formal kilt was a joke..but most people down here wouldn't know the difference!)

Wow, what a snake or two, or three wouldn't do to make you look better than your best! And just so you know, snakes slither back into hiding, not creep back into the woodwork. ha ha Now you know what I mean, nothing against you.

Looks awesome.

DALE.

Look at me ....... GREEN WITH ENVY!!!

That really looks one superb kilt, Hamish. And it goes well with both of the shirts and also the boots/scrunched down hose or dress shoes and grey hose.
Well done on another astute purchase.

Hamish, that is one wonderful kilt. Please don´t be timid about getting new kilts, I love to hear about them. I am sure a lot of us have the ´dream list of kilts´ you are just lucky enough to have the kilts instead of a list. This one will certainly be added to my list.

I know you will wear it well and enjoy it each time you are out.

I do have one question though, with 66 kilts (more than one for every day in two months do you have them numbered so you can cycle through and wear each one once before you repeat. I thought that is what I would do when I get to seven, but I have noticed even though I am at 6 I wear three (my usa casuals) a lot more than they others now because they aren´t as warm as my two Stillwaters. Just curious how you do it.

Thanks
