Ladies, take a moment to collect yourself, because I am going to paint you a picture of men in kilts that will take your breath away!
Imagine a modern-day Highlander sitting astride his "steed" Harley, in black leather motorcycle boots, black leather jacket, black leather belt with a big-old brass buckle, and a modern, knife-pleated kilt made of tartan that is black, silver, rust orange and a touch of scarlet red. Got the picture? Remember to breathe, and read on.
For some time now, I have been working with a member of the Calgary chapter of H.O.G. Canada in designing a tartan that reflects Canadian Harley owners' affection for their "hogs." This tartan is now registered with the Scottish Register of Tartans as Calgary HOG, although any Canadian Harley owners - men and women - are welcome to wear it in any fashion.

The design incorporates the distinctive scarlet red associated with Canada, along with the traditional rust, silver and black colours associated with "Harleys." The first weave of this tartan into a 16-ounce, 100% wool fabric is now available in limited supply. I hope to have it available in both 12-ounce and 16-ounce in time sometime in the fall.
Calgary members intend to have this fabric fashioned into modern kilts to be worn at rallies and other events, with their black leathers. Can you spell "H-O-T" and we don't mean as in warm weather. These guys are gonna look amazing and I eagerly anticipate pictures. (And no, I have no idea what they plan on wearing beneath their kilts!)
