BTW you do all appear to be in fine step, well done
Not to sound like a kilt snob...but after seeing some (ok...most) of the kilts being worn by my fellow post members, I think that I need to be focusing on convincing them to get legitimate kilts first before we worry about white vs. diced hose (though, on that note, had I had foresight and about $100 bucks, I could have picked up at least 10 pair of diced black and red half hose at a recent games).

The kilts were my biggest disappointment of the day. Over half of the guys I marched with were wearing "casual kilts" made of very thin material with very wide pleats and no stitched fell. The good news is that one of my fellow Army guys who fit into that category saw my kilt and proclaimed that he NEEDED to get a kilt JUST LIKE MINE....complete with my rosettes. I mentioned to him that I do sew kilts. I'm taking my tape measure to the next games to do some measurements. I just hope that he doesn't get sticker shock as we discuss prices. I can and will make him a kilt...and I'm willing to do it for a very reasonable price...but I'm not willing to do it for free, so to speak. I'm sure you understand, since you're a member on this forum, how much work goes into sewing a kilt.
