Thanks Jeff and Ron
The kilt on the kilt form was just inside the entrance.
The organizers of the show were kind and let me put a display up where everyone saw it walking in.
All the Kilts on display out front of the booth were for touchy-feely by people walking by.
I have four kilts which turned out to be the wrong size due to customers mis-measuring and I need to sell them. The others are mine. Kinda pre-production prototypes. All look real good, but are all the same size,
No luck yet finding a tall, leggy blond to help out in the booth. The wife frowns on it. She won't even let me hire a seamstress that fills out a Hooters T-shirt. Strange how women are.
I'm now well into the first of the year on oders. I've got a bum hand due to an 'accident' with an sharp knife. Boy due stiches in the hand make it hard to sew stiches in pleats.
Plus customers don't seem to like blood on their kilts.

Disagree. I think blood stains add character to most any camo pattern kilt
And, hope your wife is helping disrobe prospects for fittings...from what I read of Kate's adventures over on the UK board there's a bit of an art to it...sort of the old "assumptive close."

If this is any indication of his rep, I had another kiltmaker recommend his stuff to me when I enquired about solid color kilts.
