    Hello from Finland!

    Hello, all!

    I just took my first walk wearing a kilt (having finally received it the day before yesterday). It was wonderful, the bright, long unseen sun has begun melting the snow, and the park walks were already uncovered from ice. And there was me with my kilt and anorak and really long woollen socks (it still is quite cold here, even with the sun). I noticed a thread here about behaving differently when wearing a kilt, and somehow, it seemed true - some kind of inner peace and trust and [insert mystical term of choice]. Plus, nobody laughed or pointed Nice!

    Sorry for the novel, but it was really amazing. Specs:

    Maksim,

    I'm glad the Kilt arrived and that you have had a chance to try it out.

    If I may ask, did the Kilt arrive in good condition? Was the box and packaging adequate? Were you charged duty or taxes when it arrived?

    And where are the photos? We have a saying around here, "no photos, it didn't happen".

    Pluse I love Finland and would like to see some photos of your area.
