The Clann That Will Not Die
Scottish Outfit Giveaway
Dear Folks:
I've got a Scottish men's outfit ... nothing fancy ... that I'm willing to give away, if I have any takers. The shirt and kilt were custom made locally and are in really good shape. I probably haven't worn 'em publicly more than 4-5 times (and then for relatively short periods). They are practically like new. The shirt is rather a loose-fitting, blossomy-type thing and the kilt is a pleated "skirt" of a dark blue tartan (Gordon or Black Watch, if I recall correctly). I have a wide leather belt and a rather large sporan (sp?) to go with it. My size ... well, I'm 6 ft. 6 inches and was about 200 lbs. (that's where my major nickname of "tree" came from ... since I'm tall like one).
If anyone's interested, I can try to get some pictures (if so desired ... I don't currently have any of me with the outfit on).
Sincerely,
Randy (AKA; Tree)

I'm interested I'm a daily kilt wearer. It would go to good use and it would be great to have another to wear. I have a seamstress that could modify the kilt to fit. Let me know. Would you happen to know who made it? Send me a private message or e-mail. Thanks Tree

Dear Dan:
Don't believe I have your e-mail addy. Mine is tree9616@aol.com. PLEASE put something in the subject line to attract my attention (e.g. TARTAN WEARER), since it may go to the spam folder 1st.
Sincerely,
Randy (since "randy" in Scottish means "a roudy ol' hag, does that mean I'm a "haggis" because I'm a male? - grin)
