    They'll be OK ... Nauga are very good hiders.

    These appear to be the old Stillwater standards. Buckles look exactly the same and the description is spot on as best I can tell. The conversion gets the price to about $50. Not bad to have the other tartans even if it is a 2005 Stillwater.

    I thought acrylic wool came from those inflatable sheep that you can buy at "certain" stores! :razz:

    I had a wild Nauga in the sights of my muzzle loader diring the last hunting season, but I let him go because it was an immature Nauga. The adults have dark brown or even black hide. The one I was looking at through ny scope was almost a blond color and thus clearly a juvinile. Alas, it was probably a once in a lifetime sighting, because they can hide so well.

    I'm also informed that the acrylic sheep don't have the problem of shrinking when it rains and therefore are much easier to care for by the sheepherders.

    but said acrylic sheep are known to have extra sharp hearing so the sheepherders are reputed to be full lime kilters...

    Sorry about that...
    I learned a long time ago a hard learned lesson about tires. I had to buy two tires for the front axle of my car. I had a choice between some very expensive tires that had a good reputation for wear and a cheap set that "looked great" and I decided to buy the cheap set. Well needless to say the cheap set wore out before the old tires that I already had on the rear axle and I still had to buy the more expensive tires for the front to replace the cheap ones.
    When I buy a kilt I pay the premium price from a kilt company that has a good track record and I still have the first kilt that I ever purchased and it still looks like new.
    Spend less and get less. Buy a Yugo but don't expect folks to think that it's a Porche.
    These are of course my own opinions but you wanted some serious thoughts.

    Chris.
