    From the looks on their faces, the wallet wasn't what they were expecting to come out of there.

    I hadn't seen those until you mentioned them, and I Googled them.

    That would be a sight.

    I've had several really nice experiences in clothing stores.

    When I was looking for a nice matching sweater the staff of a clothing store/taylor bombarded me with questions and kind remarks...they never seen a kilt close quarters.
    They even asked me to take it off for "inspection". I gave in and borrowed a pair of trousers, so they could inspect the kilt.
    They loved it!...the weight, the tartan, the pleats and the craftmanship.

    I got a nice discount for the sweater

    Another clothing store...I'm a regular customer there...they also love my kilts and they have a keen eye (clever commercial bast@$ds! )
    It's almost impossible to leave that store without something nice...a shirt, a sweater, a jacket.

    "Oh! look at this! this short jacket will go perfectly with your kilt!"

    hard to say no....
