Hmmmm....grumble because I can't play....biggest hassle is living in the canyonlands where seamstresses are scarce...did find a lady to repair the UK seam that came unravelled, but that wasn't a tartan.

Guess I'll have to go prowl the website and see whats left.

Thanks for the offer Cousin Bill...you serious?.....

Had always kinda figured when I finally went to the Leatherneck tartan I'd spring for a hand sewn...but can't hurt to have a knock around either...

You guys...

Guess I could buy one then poke around town and see if someone is willing to take on the task.

Its a long way from 24" to 21 1/2"...but you only gotta cut once...and hey, maybe I could use the left over for flashes...

I love it when a plan comes together.

Still gonna wear my RAF tartan kilt in the next Veteran's Day parade. I'm resolved to that.

Panache breathes a sigh of relief as he realizes he is not going to get stomped by a former Marine from the Canyonlands. Rubbing his hands together he starts to think of who to annoy next...:tongue:

Seriously Ron,

You've had the pleasure of trying most of X Mark's Kilt Makers and Vendors, it's about time you try a SWK. You know that Jerry has to offer a single length to keep the costs down to keep them affordable. And if you have to offer one size, it makes a heck of a lot of sense to offer the longest average size that can be hemmed down to fit pretty much everybody.

I look forward to your review.

Cheers

Got my Saffron wool and Nightstalker standard today. Impressed so far. Will review more when I've taken them out for a few drinks. (Just to see how they behave).

Yes, Ron. The offer was serious. I just hand-hemmed an eight-yarder and it didn't take all that long. I'll be happy to do it for you.

By the way, I'll be out your way this summer. We'll be in Sedona, which according to Google Maps is about 160 miles south of you. We were planning to go see the Canyon of course, so that would take us even closer. Looks like a kilted get-together to me!

Thanks cuz,

Gonna hold off for now. Cool you're headed this way, keep me posted for sure....if you're doing the North Rim...you're closer still. Let me know where you'll be poking around the canyonlands and I can recommend some cool things.

Ironic, I have a blood cousin Bill who lives up in Moravian Falls. Yet to get him kilted though...
