    That's great! I sense you have become one of the converted!
    There is nothing quite like that first test drive, eh?!

    I am puzzled however...

    How did you get an 8yd handsewn in such a short time?

    I was going to ask that myself, but decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth. From what I can gather they had extra staff on through the past few weekedns to meet the Christmas rush.

    My job is not to ask, but rather to enjoy

    Carry on then! I'm glad you're groovin' to the 16oz tartan beat: just as some people will only have full weight, full length tartan kilts, there are some people who can't see the value in a traditional and will never own one.

    Bryan...it appears that you're like most of us-somewhere (happily) in the middle...congrats...

    Colin, I love the tartan, so colourful!! and such service! I'm sure you'll love wearing the kilt higher, I don't know how anyone finds hipster kilts comfortable personally, guess I'm old fashioned.

    The kilt will be nice and warm since you're all in winter.

    Congratulations. That is a beautiful tartan. I know what you mean about that traditional high on the waist feel. In my case it's low on the waist SportKilts with belt loops and sewn down pleats vs high on the waist Stillwater Standards and Heavyweights. There is an extra special feeling with the high on the waist design. I would have to say I like the traditional design the best.

    Nice choice on the tartan buddy! That's not one that you see all the feakin' time!

    Welcome to the "educated" ones that have the luxury of actually having worn an honest traditional, and being able to intelligently compare them to other kilts. It's infuriating to try to discuss the difference with someone that has no clue about the difference, and insists that they know. Your input will be a welcome voice in this place!!!!! Good luck.
    Arise. Kill. Eat.
