    Matt Newsome's advice for sale on EBAY

    I thought this was what he has on his web site. Perhaps I've been laboring under a misconception. Or perhaps not.

    Yeah, don't we get that advice for free? Besides for that price buy new and get it autographed by the author.

    Matt has written this small book and sells it at the STM. After all not everybody is a kilt obsessed internet geek (like us).

    Cheers

    Looks like somebody has given up on making a kilt and is trying to unload Matt's book.

    I find it interesting that they spelled his name incorrectly. If I were to buy the book I would just order it from Matt. Just my 2 cents

    Something we here at X Marks seem to have a problem with doing. Not suggesting you MacMurdo . Besides the ebayer might have had the book propped up beside his monitor when submitting the item.

    I beg your pardon. I am NOT a "kilt obsessed internet geek".

    Um, in the first picture on the book cover, is the length of the tie (over the cummerbund) correct?
    Also the green kilt appears to be worn a little low? And are those hose tops uneven?
    In the second picture is that piper’s sporran worn too low (bottom edge below the bottom kilt edge)? What is the correct hang? Red and black hose with green kilt. Is that ok?
    Is the sporran in the third picture made of endangered fur?
    And in the final picture, do the hose seem too gray?

    Just asking…

    Right. You just keep telling yourself that.
