Thanks for the input. I appreciate the feedback and regarding the low end comment, I was commenting on price not quality. (No offense intended Rocky, also thanks for the quick turn around on the hose.) I may end up going with a wool Navy (Edsell) tartan Kilt after all.
Enjoy your weekend. It is Tartan Day here in San Diego and following some meetings at church I will be off to Balboa Park to celebrate (cilted up of course).

Cheers,

Chaps
