HAHA, no doubt!

Tell us the secret to get our women to insist that we buy more kilts!

This proves that there is still hope for the female species.

I'm sure there's a limit on this somewhere. It might just be when she sees the price tag on the Mackirdy tartan I'm going to have made.

If you skip steps, you end up making up for it in other ways.

I also skipped 6 & 10 but made up for it by buying a sgian with a hand-carved African black wood handle with sterling mounts and an amethyst in the hilt with a damascus blade forged from a used Harley-Davidson chain.

I also have my second custom fur sporran on the way (this one a badger from Thorfinn Custom Sporrans).

So, not making your own kilts and buying a fly plaid don't let you off the hook.

Expat2011-I've always received more positive comments than negative ones when I go kilted about in Salt Lake. Looks like there's enough of us kilties in the northern Utah area to have a kilt night.

I agree! I wish my wife would do that!

Bill here, and I'm in brother!
