When people ask if I play the pipes, I just tell them that I can't even play the radio. When certain people ask me about the pipes, I just give them a blank stare and say, "What pipes?".
Frank:
What abbout the dry cleaning solvents? I am glad you have found a competent cleaner, I have seen several threads on destroyed kilts. However I also have seen postings indicating dry cleaning fluids are not good for kilts and actually remove important Oil?? or other elements in the wool and can lead to premature break down of the wool. Does your cleaner use some kind of "green" fluids or anything?
