    I think I've figured out where marbles come from.


    BTW, I've got a SWK and I'm very happy with it. Highly recommended. Go for the HI's kilt if your on the fence. If your wife resists, not much of a loss. If she likes it, buy other kilts, and wear the HI kilt for house work, chores, painting, emergency plumbing, and the like.

    My casual kilt i just bought off EBay was from Highland Inspirations. If you read my introductory thread i yak on about it a bit. Very prompt service. Pretty happy with it, even though i havent worn it yet because i bought it two sizes too small so i would have to lose weight to wear the thing LOL Maybe i should be posting in the diet thread

    I plan on buying one of the Irish kilts from them in a few weeks.

    You know I once had a sweater...this is years ago now, that I liked very much. It was a grey, sleeveless, cable sweater-vest. On the inside of the label, it told me what the sweater was made of, and to this day, I remember it.

    I'd hate to know what they do to it to make acrylic lose its virginity!

    Of course, I've seen Virgin Wool and that makes me wonder about what they do to the rest of the sheep.

    Virgin wool comes from ugly sheep!

    I think that this is because acrylic can be recyled from previous incarnations like plastic bottles and other garments. It's to let you know that your fabric wasn't a 2 liter Coke bottle before it got made into a sweater. I seem to remember that the folks who pioneered the original polar fleece material used recyled acrylic to make it.
