Block-A-Day 56 – Menswear And Kilts

Tina February 25, 2021Block-A-Day Leave a Comment

Today I continue my quest in creating and posting one block a day of the fabulous That Town And Country Quilt by the lovely Susan Claire. This is day fifty-six of that project.

I hope you all see that this building has a belt around it and a pocket.

This store carries all kinds of menswear but specializes in KILTS! Dress kilts, hiking kilts, and utility kilts with cargo pockets to take your essentials.

They even have a toolbelt accessory—carefully placed loops and pockets to carry your tools. You want to ensure your tool belt doesn’t shift around; you want to keep that hammer handle on the side.

It’s called Ambassador Menswear, after a clothing store in my hometown. It carried clothes for the whole family, and I spent a fair amount of money there. A really lovely couple owned it.
