I have to admit when Matt first brought the issue to my attention I was less than thrilled about it but after seeing both upclose and gallery (Ham and Ron) pictures and discussing options with Matt I too decided it was no big deal. I love the tartan and am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the kilt.

I grew up in the deep southern United States back when we had a thriving textile industry. My father was an engineer who designed textile equipment and for the last 15 years before retirement my mother was first a quality control inspector and then ran the QC department at a large mill. In my experience perfection just does not happen.
