Tartan Week on Saturday with a parade up Sixth Avenue.“He tried on the leather kilt and he said, ‘F–k’n hell, this is the bomb.

I’m wearing this the whole f–king show.'”Nicholsby, who owns Edinburgh-based 21st Century Kilts, can trace his celebrity connections back to his parents.

They constructed the kilt Mel Gibson wore to the premiere of “Braveheart,” and visited Charlton Heston’s West Hollywood mansion to measure him for one. “My mom got to hold Moses’ staff,” Nicholsby said.But, he recalled, his parents, Geoffrey and Lorna, annoyingly “wouldn’t let me take the day off school to meet Scotty from ‘Star Trek.'”He’s since dressed other bold-faced names like Ozzy Osbourne, John McEnroe and Prince Albert of Monaco.In 2009, he fit Lenny Kravitz for a kilt in Newcastle, England, before the singer’s concert in Glasgow, which ended sadly.“He wore the kilt; he rocked it.

He looked amazing,” Nicholsby said. “But while the show was on, Michael Jackson died. “They were good friends and had just worked on something together.”His creations — which range in price from around $900 to just over $3,000 — are mainly made of a poly-wool blend or tweed, but he is also known for edgy denim and leather creations .Nicholsby started coming to the Big Apple for the Tartan Day Parade in 2000. “Tartan” refers to the plaids that identify Scottish clans.“Scotland has a very old birth, death, marriage record.
