    Hubba, hubba, hubba frickin' hubba!

    Gents, ladies, lads, lassies, rabble, rabblette:

    The wife has been supportive, after initial trepidations, about the whole kilt thing. Initially, she adopted the "fine around the yard but ye'll no be going out in it" attitude, but as I have gained experience, knowledge and confidence so has she too.

    With her birthday coming up, I thought maybe it would be nice for her to have a fine, custom tailored garment to sport around in as well. I called up Rocky and told him I didn't want to talk to him, but to Kelly (OK, that's what Rocky told me). Kelly and I talked over our options, I got the measurements, and shazam!

    Today a new USAKilts mini-kilt arrived in the mail, in the Warrior tartan. Hubba hubba.

    Do you remember the wolf in the old little red riding hood cartoon? With his eyes bugging out and his tongue hanging out, ogling the chanteuse little red riding hood? Well, that's just about me right now.

    I'm going to go paw at the floor and howl at the moon.

    The USAK minikilt just ROCKS.

    Any gripes? Yeah, the very end of the reversed pleat on the left side needs to be tacked down a bit at the top, there's just a hint of sag on that final pleat. That's a two minute fix with needle and thread, even for me.

    JUST WOW!

    Thanks for the mini review of the mini! Kelly said she's sorry for the "saggage"... she'll make it a point to check for that on future minis.

    If she can (and you'll let her up here ), could your lovely wife post a review of the mini after she's worn it a few times? I just realized we don't have any reviews of our minis!

    BTW... I'm glad YOU like it so much Try to keep from drooling on your shoes.

    And by pics, we want her in the mini kilt. Not you. Nothing personal I assure you, and I hope you understand.
