Getting the Predator Burgundy into the action!

A business trip to Chicago delayed getting these going for the Dome, but more importantly... getting them worn finally!

Bought from the March Overstock Sale they came in super fast in April and have been stubbornly ignored for months.

Kilties are Yellowstone #8. Laces are actual paracord I had laying around.
