    Peter, thanks for the disturbing information. I should have complained right away. I fear it's too late now, as those three kilts were made several years ago. I'll just right it off as stupidity on my part (kilt maker too); "learning the hard way."

    It would be nice to have the kilts remade but the cost, now, would be too prohibitive. I wish Wally would have picked up on that, also, as we could have sent it back.

    Not only did the material have a pucker to it, it just didn't feel like my first kilt's material. Can't explain it, but I know something is off.
