    There was a notice in my mailbox on Saturday that there's a package waiting for me at the post office. Unfortunately they were closed by the time I got home and checked the mail. I'll have to swing by after work and see what's waiting for me!

    22 oz. Canadian military? Yes, I'd be interested to see a pic. Was this a one shot deal, or do you sell them, Sarge?

    I'd be interested in a 22 oz. kilt, but is that weight available only in the military cut?

    They were surplus, I only have one left for someone with a 33" waist and 6'1" tall. Yes they were made in Glasgow but it's all I have left. I do have a couple childrens kilts to sell as well....small children.

    22oz? It sounds nice, but I'd roast! I want to see a picture, though.

    My wonderful wife picked it up yesterday. It fits great, though it is a bit long... It comes to the bottom of my knee, which might not be a bad thing in a winter kilt. My wife snapped a couple of pictures last night while I was doing the dishes, but I didn't have a chance to upload them yet. I should be able to get that done this afternoon after I get done voting.

    Thanks SergeantFirstClass!

    Remember that a military kilt is worn much higher above the naval than a conventional modern kilt. Roughly 2 inches higher from the ones I have and others I have seen. I'm glad it fits you.

    I have it up at my rib cage. I'm a little shorter than the intended wearer of the kilt. It's for someone 6'1" to 6'2", and I'm just a hair over 6'0".

    Even so, I couldn't be happier.
