Thanks Daneel, your post reveals a rare insight into Irish life. Strange how cultures differ. In Oz, shorts are almost a National Costume, but kilts are still foreign.

The fact that you have so little in the way of a support network makes your resolve even more special an your efforts that much greater! I tip my hat to you!

You obviously have an eye for well made kilts, but my practice of late has been to compromise of fine Scottish wools and go for cheaper but harder wearing materials like poly viscose so that I can afford more kilts and wear them more often.

It might be worth considering those kiltmakers here whose lives are dedicated to getting kilts on backsides in greater quantities and with quality too! (if you don't mind me saying so).

I do pray that the Irish people will rediscover their roots as pertaining to kilts. I confess to having a great love for Ireland and it's people, having been there now on two occasions.

God bless you Daneel as you spread the message of the joy of kilts with your community!
