More Kilt stuff

I found yet another great kilt shop, Stillwater Kilts. They're even cheaper than the Kommando Kilts, with tartan patterns. Their selection isn't huge, and their kilts don't have pockets, but they are full 8 yard kilts, with all the proper buckles and stuff in the right places. I bought this one, and it rocks. It's one of their standard acrylic kilts. Wool is too warm for Texas, and since my wife made me an acrylic Great Kilt for RenFest wear a while back, I knew it was a suitable substitute.

I found them through this sporran site, and while I haven't ordered one of those yet, they look pretty badass, and at some point I will.

Thanks for posting the link. I'll point [livejournal.com profile] daitengu in the direction of it.

His aunt, if I remember correctly, had provided him a full great kilt using an ancestral tartan, but somehow it got misplaced before he moved up here. We figured it would have to turn up after he emptied his house out, but no dice. All those (expensive!) yards of wool just up and evaporating into the aether like that...it's mystifying, unnerving, and enough to make one weep.
