    I laughed when I read it this morning. It was a nice article, but the quotes she used from us were answers to different questions... i.e. Kelly was making dresses for 25 years, we've only been in business for 10. I didn't start the business at age 11... hahaha.

    And here I thought you were just remarkably well-preserved. Kilts will do that for you.

    Nice article and video. Love those ecru hose! Thanks for posting.

    Congratulations, Rocky! You've become a genuine folk hero.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Rocky, I like your math attraction to the kilts. Some of these tartans require a little rocket science to do a great pleat.
    Pretty amazing how you got the three wide pleat casuals that I just received ( Isle of Skye, Holyrood and Scott Weathered ) into a sett pleat pattern with so few pleats and economy of cloth. That's 3 tartan sizes - 4.25, 6.25 and 5.25 inch - all with an even 1.5 inch pleat reveal and decent under pleat. With only a small stretching of the tartan in the horizontal direction on some. Neat trick. I know these will "waggle" as great as the other Casuals - shooing flies and attracting lasses.

    It is my personal preference to have the pleats continue the pattern of the apron. To stripe for me makes the rear a bit monotonous. The public seconds my choice as I get about twice the "nice kilt" complements in a "to sett" kilt.

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.
