I have recieved lots of advice from people that have helped me save some cash. Piobear saved me atleast a few hundred on a argylle coat. (By informing me I don't have to have a argyll coat, simple advice but has saved me $$$.) And a local kilted man, cactus jack, has helped me find a seamstress with kilt experience today even weeks after I had asked. Xmarkers sure are a friendly bunch. Thanks for all the replies.
