In the News

 My wife and I were in Ashville, NC (if you have not been there, go; it's a great town).  She was finishing her MA at the Breadloaf School of English.  While walking around the town, we were stopped by a reporter who published these observations.

Highland games

• Who he is: Kevin Williams

• What he's wearing: A twill camouflage kilt from Utilikilt.com and a sporran bag from Amerikilt.com. ("Usually a sporran is worn in the middle," Kevin explains – he updated his by adding a chain and wearing it like a messenger bag.)

• Why we love it: Kilts have been working their way back into men's fashion, helped by modern fabrics (denim and canvas) and celebs (Vin Diesel wore a leather version to the MTV awards a few years back). Kevin makes his work for a stroll around town – the camo print worn with a tee and sandals renders this Scottish classic a viable alternative to cargo shorts.
