Ok I think I get it now...

...I can understand the kiltmaker's request for protection; he or she probably has a job or career that precludes fulltime kiltmaking - at least, for now, and has only enough time to practice the craft for true devotees....

Soooo, is that a hint by any chance????

Hi gang - guess all you want, I'll never tell... I've givien my word - and no its not Barb T... I'm sure the kiltmaker would be flattered to be put in that league. W2F has it right, this kiltmaker has plenty on their plate.

The kiltmaker and I decided to pleat to that stripe to "quiet" the color field a bit and add some "pop"when the pleats kick open.

Colin - I couldn't say it any better... you really do need to strap one of these tanks on to understand what they are all about and tank is exactly the right word...

My USAK fits just as well, but there's something about wool that just can't be duplicated...

Wow! I'm blown away, and jealous as hell. I really like that tartan and especially like the pleating choice. We need to see some walking pics so we can see what it looks like in motion. Too cool!
