Just to come to the defense of the local shop a little bit (of course, my local shop is a three hour drive to Franklin, NC) Because I am new to highland wear, I was very interested in a number of things. Having a real life person to ask the questions of and one who was willing to spend a couple of hours with my wife and I was a real bonus. Likewise, this same individual has spent time on the computer answering the blizzard of emails I have sent his way asking questions about various items.

So all this to say, Thank you Matt Newsome!
