    That's too bad. Grant could use one of the mini-kilts to improve his chance on a kilt check.

    Only a four yard casual?

    Think I will happily stick with my McHummel 8 yard!

    Four yards could well freeze Grant's assets if they weren't frozen already!

    Generally, when you order a kilt from a SCOTTISH company and it's called a "casual kilt" (not talking about a USAK Casual) but is made from nice quality worsted wool, it's about 4 yards and it's machine sewn. It saves on labor and material costs, so they can compete a little better with the low end of the kilt market. It's a decent Casual Kilt... that's why it's called what it is.

    Sorry, had to act fast and keep itin the family. I'll be sure to show you a picture of me wearing it. 16oz wool in B.C! Wouldn't a lighter rubberized canvas keep you cooler and drier?

    *says in a whisper* That'll teach you to be 3 hours behind the rest of civilization.

    But the kilt was woven in Scotland Grant and it has yet to adapt godless metrication for kilts.

    I feel soggy I mean sorry for you. If I ever find out where Archangle lives and am able to swipe his Maple Leaf or likewise find an MOD ML you'll have first dibs on this one. Trust me, with my luck, it'll probably be in "A1 kilt check free" condition.
