Really dig the tailored Harris Tweeds and the fact that you have the self-assurance, confidence, creativity and originality to opt for unique tones & patterns you dig. Nothing conservative about the way you interpret & rock the tweed, bro!! Very vibrant! Elegant & top qual. Man, NEVER seen tweed look as sweet or worn better. Love it!!! Your fedoras are the bomb too!! Thanks for sharing jbreitenbucher! |

brentkuz I wore it out to get ice cream last night. Switched the mocs for my green PF Flyer and added a Levi's selvedge trucker; the wife did not think the shoes worked. Got some curious looks, but then as long as I think I look good, I don't really care much what others think.

My Scots Irish heritage supports this. Even while the remaining Mexican and German side is laughing about it.

@stevekas Thanks. Self confidence or complete disregard of other's opinions, it's hard to tell which. I'm actually thinking of getting a second kilt from New House Highland when he starts taking orders again. Probably in  |

Probably in I know little to nothing about Kilts but that site is wonderfully put together and the craftsmanship in the product shines through. Very nice. |

German/Irish/Mexican/Italian here. If I ever have to quit drinking, I'm not sure my genetics will allow me to survive. |

@stevekas, thanks brother! Always thought the belts you produce were outstanding - so I'm v. chuffed you dig it. Irish/English/German/French blend here...guess geography prevented my scoring some sunny Mexican flavours...but, yeah, without lubrication stops I woulda' rusted decades ago!!

They have a Scottish Highland Games festival in my area, and I know when it happening, when I see gents sporting kilts in the area. I respect tradition, and for people to wear WFT they want, but I personally think there is a reason someone invented pants.

My latest bespoke item. Some trousers in Chisholm Hunting Modern to go with a bespoke Harris Tweed jacket I had made last year. I wish they had lined up the waistband better. These have no belt loops and instead have side adjusters and buttons for braces.

How about a selvedge kilt? That would be a new one. Problem is, it'd be difficult getting those sick fades and honeycombs
