    Flea Market Kilts

    I went to the local flea market here in San Jose this morning, and somebody recognized me as the guy who's always in a kilt (even though I was wearing pants because it's cold and windy today), and he called me over to his clothing stand. He says "I've got something for you," and he whips out two black Utilikilts! I was shocked. And, they were both my size! I ask him how much, and he says $10 each! I threw a twenty at him and thanked him for stopping me, and now I'm two kilts richer! Plus, I have an AK and a Blaklader kilt in the mail, so I'll be content for a while.

    [EDIT]
    I have since discovered that one kilt is the Mocker variety (retail around $195 for my size) and the other is a Jean Cut (around $185).

    You lucked out on that one!

    I was in the Celtic Isles shop here in Dayton (Beavercreek) on Friday. They had a couple of Amerikilts on the rack; to small for me. They had another kilt (don't remember the manufacture) that was my size (36" and 23 long"). I was tempted but decided to save the money. I will have to go back there the next time I am in the market for a new kilt.

    Don't you just hate it when that happens? There you are, just strolling along with a single $20 in your pocket and you hear "psst, mister. I gotta fix for you." Takes care of that jonesing right away.
