Psst! Hey Mac, Tartan fix... over here. SHHHH!
Yeah, so that's about how it went on Ebay the other night. I won this one for $20. It's ok... right?? I mean, it was a great deal. That's ok right??? haha.
I must say that it's better than I expected. The fabric is labeled as 65% Viscose Rayon/ 35% Acetate. A wee bit conerning as far as flamability. But, probably no worse than a lot of other things. The fabric is on the coarse side, not too unlike a 16 oz. wool (similar in weight too.) It has shallow pleats, so probably 4-5 yards of fabric. It also sports a hemmed edge, no selvedge. But, the blind hem is just that... no visible trace from the outside. I bought it knowing it was one size too big. But, I'm thinking about punching a hole at the inner point on the straps of maybe having the Mrs. move them. It's simply a $20 kilt. Oh, and if unfamiliar with the tartan, it's the Scottish National. It really does look great worn. Very pleased. I guess one of those "Ebay Gambles" gone good. Not sure who makes it, but I'm sure it's a Pakistani knock-off of sorts.

That's one of Robin's antler pins on it.
