I like brown straps depending on the tartan, brushed metal buckles always, I don’t like shiny metals for the most part. Bronze buckles with either brown or black also looks good.
Thanks for the amusing and thorough answer to my question. So no 🤘 EXTREME🤘 washer cycle!😂 I do like the idea of turning inside out. The info on the leather is especially appreciated!
In my home, we offer whiskey and short bread biscuits to Der Weihnachtmann.They are always gone by morning.They are of course vulnerable to early returnees from an uninspiring Christmas Eve function.😉
Regarding the discussion of tweeds: I'm considering getting an Inverness Cape. Not something one can try on at Macy's,, Nordstrom, or even Brooks Brothers! I've found two Scottish sources (MrAnthony and Kinloch Anderson). The former source much of their cloth from certified "Harris Tweed" weavers, who apparently must weave the fabric on foot-powered looms in their own homes, whereas KA use a mill in the Scottish Borders (Lovat). Living in Montana and thinking of the Cape as something to wear over a kilt and jacket in Montana Winters, I'm wondering what kind and weight of tweed cloth I should consider. Lovat make tweed fabric as heavy as 900 mg/meter, but one or two of the very few opinions I've obtained are that "that stuff is for furniture." Any opinions?
I think logos belong on advertising, so I agree with Ian that sweatshirts, T-shirts, and hoodies are where the logo belongs, but certainly if people want to buy a cap badge or belt buckle in large enough numbers, there'd be nothing WRONG with doing so. Or, perhaps a logo at the end of a Sgian Dubs handle?
Based on recent days on my indoor bike trainer (1 hr per ride and episode of Outlander), I somehow discovered "The Sassenach" blended Scots Whisky marketed by Sam Heugan. I had assumed that blended whisky was what one did with left-overs from distilling, but this stuff is rife with 5 star reviews. I've not been able to learn where it's made, however. Any thoughts from you guys who sample the stuff?
My favourite Christmas film, The Long Kiss Goodnight, has Scottish actor Brian Cox in, though I'm not sure his character is supposed to be Scottish. It could be interesting to have Charly Baltimore, the spy persona of the main character, played by Geena Davis, be Scottish with a full-on Scots dialect while her alter ego is still Midwestern mom, Samantha Caine. Then again, it might be over-tge-top. One of my favourite bad but fun Christmas films, A Castle For Christmas, already has a load of Scottish characters in. As for my Christmas tartan pick, I'll go with Manitoba Red.
Yes I would be interested in a USAKilts kilt pin.
On a sword?
You guys have a sporran for firearms, or did? Which ones?
The spinning buckle to have a brown/black strap would work with a sporran strap but not anything else.

You know how some stores have points, or cash towards things in that store specifically. We need Kilt Kash for the Candy Shop!
Ah! An interesting concept! Noted ;)

Have lined closets in cedar, not that difficult. Home centers sell a chair rail lenth.

Ooh that's an interesting one we hadn't thought of!
Christmas kilt: in the more muted range, I’d go with the St. David’s Welsh tartan.
A nice Kilt pin of the logo would be nice as long as its not to small. I like a pin that can be seen without leaning over to check it out.
Interested in kilt pin
After washing my kilts, I put them on the bannister getting the morning sun. Never had to iron the pleats
nice!
I got Hepburn Muted to be my Christmas kilt. I since got Royal, Prince Edward Stuart. It screams Christmas.
I’m wearing Fraser Old Modern red with blue and green, can’t go wrong. (It’s also my only Fèileadh Baeg lol)

We'd have to try it ourselves to get better input!
@@USAKiltsOfficial Are you suggesting someone send you a sample?😉
@@chimerat8012 We never turn down a good bottle of Scotch! HAHAA
The logo is cool. Put it on everything. At least a glencairn.

Sorry, I missed the episode. Unfortunately, I had to work. But I will be wearing my Cameron Muted tartan for Christmas.
no apologies needed! Good choice for Christmas!
