    It's Here !!!! :)

    Well after a few days being offline because of a tornado ripping through town I'm finally back online and able to brag on my new kilt. It's a Balmoral traditional 8 yrd. kilt in 13 oz.
    I was worried about the fabric being too light. Believe me it's not too light. Even though it's 13 oz's it's a heavy, sturdy piece of craftsmanship. I'm totally stoked about my kilt. The day I got it, I wore it to Monstermart to see how folks would react. I received some looks of course but no scowls or laughter. Anyone that I saw looking showed genuine curiosity. I had one good looking young lady stop and look me up and down and say " Hi there" lol. when I was leaving the store a little old lady grabbed my arm and said " I want to thank you. I've never seen a Scotsman in real life, just on t.v. and I've all ways wanted to meet one". Wow talk about a moral booster. Tomorrow I'm going to wear it to school. I've told myself that once a week I'll wear it to school
    So here are a couple of pics of my kilt. The sporan in the pics will be heading out soon as a freeby to the gent who requested it

    My wife noticed that you have tan legs- as opposed to my pasty white tree trunks...

    Nice kilt! Congrats!

    Nice looking kilt. Congratulations.

    Did you have much damage from the tornado?

    Congratulations.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    Congrats! I'm a huge fan of the 13 oz. kilts. You'll find them quite comfortable here in Georgia.

    What tartan is that? Nevermind, I noticed your avatar. That's a Clan Cochrane tartan is it not?
