Now it begins...placed an order!

After reading, thinking, mailing with companies and the only kiltmaker I know in Germany I finally placed an order:

5 yard "Smith ancient" Jura by Martin Mills pleated to red stripe (if possible)

Hope Tartanweb will do a nice Job. Price with shipping about € 200,-.

I would like to wear it at Rüsselsheim Highland Games 1./2. September.

Now I am going to order a lovat green Hector Russell day jacket.

:-)

Good on you! Good luck in the games!! I just started throwing in April, loving it!

**Pipersson** · 12th July 12, 12:56 PM

I'll be just a visitor though my girlfriend would like me to throw too....;-)

No shame in either

Watching is what got me interested in the first place. Nothing like the thrill of turning your first caber!

So there is hope for my GF...

**Piipriker** · 12th July 12, 02:17 PM

I hope we meet in Rüsselsheim. Will be there to make pictures.

**Pipersson** · 12th July 12, 02:27 PM

I'' try to be there both days. :-)

**Scottish Terrier** · 12th July 12, 06:04 PM

Good for you! I too wear the Smith Ancient on occasion.

Hi all!

It arrived!

Today I received my new Smith ancient 5 yard kilt by Tartanweb.
Fabric is 16 oz. Jura range by Marton Mills. I like the pale coulours.
Nice, but....

The pleats have different depths and the pattern isn't really repeated.
Is that usual with 5 yarders? Maybe because of the tartans dimensions!

What do you think about it?
