Unexpected Events - What should I do?

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

It is not a balance, it is a credit. So I have -100 dollars on there that visa owes me. Plus, Christmas is paid for. We have an allotted amount that we save up during the year and that is all we spend.

I understand that. Anytime I receive a credit on one of my cards I use it to pay down the balance (which I generally zero each month).

Sorry, I misunderstood. When I charge something it is paid off when it shows up on the card. So I don't have anything on there. I appreciate the advice.

Brice,

Skye Highland Outfitters sells a 4-yard and an 8-yard pv kilt. The owner, Josh (NorCalPiper), is a member of this forum and provides very good customer service.

I just visited his website. I am very interesting now... Thanks!

I wanted to add a little more to this. I am worried about the weight of a 'tank'. My first kilt was a wool/acrylic mix, that I believe was an 7-8 yard. It was a very heavy material and I never liked it because it was so heavy. It was a cheap kilt. Should I be worried about the weight of the tank?

Well, like my gran-da used to say, 'if you don't know what to buy, then don't buy anything until you do'.

If you're concerned about the $100 credit sitting on your card, just use it to buy groceries and gas instead of paying cash till it's used up.

What's your problem? Are you that weak that you can't deal with a few extra ounces?.
Be a man.
Save your money till you can afford a well constructed made to measure kilt offered by the many fine kiltmakers that advertise here.
A made to measure kilt will fit like a glove. It will be a part of you and you won't notice the weight of the kilt till you take it off.
Once you wear a kilt with a bit of weight to it, experience the swish you won't go back to a light weight...totally different class of kilt.

If you don't jump on the military kilts at WHAT PRICE GLORY ( I would), may I suggest a three pronged approach?

1) Buy a jacket on eBay. You may be able to grab an Argyle for less if you are lucky and don't mind wearing "vintage", but there are many options.
2) If you bought a Dress Mess for #1, get a set of buttons to kiltify it
3) Spend a little on something for your sweetie, who probably deserves a treat, too.

Thanks for being honest. Pretty sure I am a man. I am debating between a polyviscose and a wool. Wool and heat do not sound like a good combination.

Wool is always more comfortable than poly-anything in heat. I know I sound like an *** saying this, but wool breaths. I could wear long wool pants and a wool jacket in the middle of August before I could stand the warmth of poly in November. Poly never seemed warm like wool keeping you warm in winter, it always seems like warm and sticky. I hope that made sense to anyone other than me.
