    Skye Highland Isle of Skye In PV

    I just pulled a long day at work today so excuse not having better pics, I will add in more as they go on. I received my kilt today from Josh and it is fantastic. Josh was kind enough to go back and forth with me over the pleating and various option, and we settled on pleating to the stripe and no fringe. The swish is great! It is obvious this was made with care and attention to detail. I had to exercise patience in putting it on because the pleats and aprons were so carefully basted. Granted this is the most I have had in my budget to spend on a kilt to date but the fit is fantastic, custom sized makes such a difference. I am Irish not a Scot so I prefer the non clan tartans and this Isle of Skye from Marton Mills is gorgeous. I think my next savings will be for the Caledonia with kingussie pleating. So if you are sitting on the fence, I would definitely recommend Skye Highland. Thanks Josh!

    "Darned if you do, Darned if you don't" Ron I did not have the time to post pics kilted I did not get home until late, and had I posted a review without any pics I would have been accused of the kilt being a figment of my imagination.

    I will try and get some pics up this weekend, but have your credit card handy you'll want to get a Skye Highland kilt.

    Thanks
