    Great belt, what a treasure, a true spiritual gift from the heart.

    On the commercial side - if you could get those belts woven up in colors to match tartans I'll bet there'd be a market for them for the Juarez weavers...wonder what, if any, import complications you'd have. Guessing you could get a stack of initial orders right now off your post here.

    So, what do they call a kilt along the borderlands? Know the formal Castillian is falda Escotia - Scottish skirt - but guessing the borderland Mexican Spanish has a cooler, less formal word???

    And dang lad, weren't you a tad toasty in Juarez in July with a cap and kilt hose on??

    Never mind that you triggered some memories in this olde geezer of some time in Juarez in 1965...I was on a mission too...but I can guarantee it was no religious mission...nuf said there....

    Background in some of those shots looks a lot like rezlands up this way...Third World stuff. Good on you for your service.

    Can't imagine it would be to difficult (Buzz Kidder has some of his Sporrans made over the Border).
    Never thought of wearing my belt ,red w/ garters with my Kilt. Sort of cool looking but not to traditional.
