Legacy of Darkness is finally real!

Well, the world has been watching this one patiently for a while. But here it is. Legacy of Darkness is finally woven!! 🤘

I got the first production pictures today and I could not be happier with how it came out. The scarlet hits exactly the way I hoped it would, and the black and grey have way more depth in the actual wool than the digital renders ever showed.

For anyone who missed some of the earlier discussion, the 70-thread black field references Black Sabbath’s 1970 debut and the 13-thread scarlet bars represent Ozzy’s 13 solo studio albums.

One of my favorite descriptions came from a weaver who saw the design and said the way the black and grey move in and out through the sett reminded her of the bass in heavy metal. I loved that because so much of what I was trying to capture was the feeling of the music, not just colors associated with Ozzy or Sabbath. Seeing it in actual wool, I think that comes through even more.

You guys have watched this thing develop for months. Now it’s real cloth. 🔥🤘

Shoes/Boots/shirt suggestion

I will be getting my kilt in a few months from USA Kilts and hope to wear it to the Highland Games in mid-November, just as a spectator.
What type of footwear would be appropriate for walking around? I'm not interested in Ghillie Brogues. Would sneakers or some work boots be acceptable? I will have on cotton hose.

Also, what type of shirt should I wear? It can be very warm/hot here in South MS in Nov., or, like last year, chilly one day and hot the next. I'm a T-shirt type. I do have a few shirts with my tartan pattern on them, but that probably would be too much tartan.

Thanks!

ai sLOP REaCT!!!

MY EYES! So we found this really awful AI video purporting to present an accurate history of how the kilt was invented. Masochists that we are, we decided to watch it and ...you know... rip it to shreds. like ya do. The result premieres tomorrow on Youtube at Noon, EST. Link in the Comments!
