Welcome.

Not really..

I've been to the games in Mesa numerous times. I passed this year because I was in Mexico. Also, for the Tucson games as well.

I'm kinda burnt out on the highland games. When the vendors know you by name, you know you've spent a lotta time there. Maybe next year.

You can get a reproduction kilt made of 20 oz. wool for around $300 from WPG: http://www.whatpriceglory.com/scot.htm

Very cool. If I was looking for a BW or other regimental kilt, that's the only way to go!

However, the next kilt I want isn't a common tartan, and probably be a special weave anyway. Hence the $800 price tag. Not that I really want to pay $800 for a kilt, it's just that I'm very happy with the kilt I have now and don't want to take chances with something I haven't had experience with.

Maybe someday I'll consider a knock-around kilt. But for now, I guess I'm to much of a traditionalist. But I would like something that I could not be so worried about.

Thanks again for the welcome. I'm looking forward to spending some time here on the board!
