Boab | army surplus tough cotton combat kilts? (34) | RE: army surplus tough cotton combat kilts? | 08 Apr 06 |
SIXTY YEARS AGO I wanted a kilt for roving around the countryside. Luck was with me when a young lady bought a Gordon tartan kilt, then discovered she'd bought a regimental Gordon. I got it for ten Scots pounds. A kilt, a blanket, a cycling cape, a pillow! Not for wet weather hiking---wet, it weighs a ton!!! It,s here in Canada with me still, and was donned again to "address the haggis" at the local Burns supper this year. And it has not noticeably faded; I widnae pairt wi' it!! |
