your...would you like me to post yours to you Lefty?<br />your saltaire sporran looks tops, my boss lady and kids want me to get one now, too.<br /><br />as i got a Blackwatch party kilt too (to have as a spare in case we get more interested in coming kilted- and because i've become a bit obsessed!) i can say that given it is a lot lighter (great if it is hot) than the 5 and 8 yard kilt it doesn't 'drape' as well. the manufacturers have also ran some long threads through the pleats to ensure they stay together through transport (a common practice).<br />this is easily cut and pulled out.<br /><br />my Blackwatch is a little creased from transport so i recomend after intial trying on and showing off, putting the kilt on a hanger to straighten it out. or laying it flat with all the pleats correct and then pressing it with a board over the top and some weights for a few days. i'll look into if it can be ironed- i'm at work at the moment so i don't have one with me.Cris Cochranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966824752959729517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691219939930045300.post-50590091270940123612010-11-08T23:06:36.599+11:002010-11-08T23:06:36.599+11:00Better start working on the accents boys; mine'...Better start working on the accents boys; mine's not too bad if I do say so myself; which I just did.<br />Very jealous you boys are getting to try them on before Adelaide.
