Reputation... is it worth it?

[Paul]

Paul, we look forward to a review and photos!

And did you also go with the local maker, too?

I didn't actually. I found that the price she initially gave was for teflon coated non-pure wool and a pure wool kilt was a lot more expensive... therefore I felt misled and looked elsewhere for a kilt.
HoS kilt was decent - I'll get a review up and pictures up after I look over some other peoples to guide me into saying the right things and explaining things enough. Cheers for reminding me too
