Help me not look foolish!

[BEEDEE]

My SWK came with a set of instructions. So as my kids say when I have a computer question - RTFM!!

And for those not familiar with the abbreviation, it's Read the F***ing Manual!

BTW, this is one version of how to wear that great looking kilt.

Yeah and the drinking related paraphernalia is not optional, it is mandatory.

[elitekiltedcommando]

Aye.

Next i'll probably get a Sport Kilt, Irish Revenge.

Unlike some, Skweres, i like SportKilt.

I like that kilt. I've had a few problems along the lines of customer service, and with their kilt pins, but other than that I like 'em.

The customer sercive issue is that when I ask a question, I usually won't get a direct answer. And the kilt pin I bought broke clean in half after one day of use...

I am wearing my SWK Hunting Mcleod as I write this and the top edge of the kilt is at least 1 inch above my navel and the bottom edge of the kilt is right at the middle of my knee. I think Dave mentioned it does take some getting used to wearing something this high.

You must be taller than I - my SWK Hunting Macleod comes to about three fingers above my navel (it covers the bottom ribs in the back over the kidneys!)

it hangs to a couple inches below the knee. i'm 5'7", so it makes it look like a skirt.


OH! Almost forgot! I think i need to exchange it for a smaller size. i tried mine on last night after i got home. had the straps set on the tightest setting, it was ok for a minute. i got to walking around a bit in it, to get used to it. well, it seemed that when i exhaled the thing tried to escape.

Thoughts?

Kilts shouldn't move around when you exhale. If your basting stitches are still in place, Jerry will swap out kilts with you, I'll bet.

I would go with a smaller size if I were you. I've never exchanged one, but I hear that Jerry is real good about that, as long as you haven't taken out the basting stitches.

That's probaly a good tip for everyone. Don't just try on the kilt and immediately remove the stitches. Wear it around the house a bit to make sure it fits the same way afterwards.

OK, everyone take a deep breath and lighten up. I've removed a few posts from this thread and restored it, but everyone needs to give their responses a bit of consideration before submitting them. We're not going to let the ladies and children that visit this forum be bothered with any of that nonsense.

There's no need to name names and even less need for the locker room language. If you cannot go so far as to at least act like an adult, I'm more than willing to take further action.

Any takers?
