    UK Brown Leather, A Great Winter VALUE!

    Just made a trip from Page, AZ down to Prescott to see a lady
    friend, have some fun, and get some primal needs met.

    I took three cloth kilts and my brown leather UK kilt. The UK black
    workman's worked well for the drive south (about 5 hours), but just
    after I settled in down in Prescott the big winter storm arrived.
    No way a cloth kilt wouldn't dance wildly in that wind. So wore the
    leather out to dinner Saturday night. The storm stayed and so did
    the leather kilt. Wore the leather UK all day in the rain walking
    around the historic spots of Prescott and hanging out doing "retail
    therapy" along Whiskey Row. Kept it on for Sunday night dinner out.

    Came home today through the meat of the storm, snow, hail, high
    winds. Wore the UK leather in my truck and when I had to get out
    for "rest" stops and to refuel, that leather kilt not only kept me
    warm and dry, I got a lot of positive comments. And, after sitting
    on it for five hours today it wasn't creased up.

    After wearing the UK leather for three days in a row I am sold. Now
    I'm kicking myself that I didn't get the leather first, then add the
    cloth kilts. Don't know if the cloth kilts will get much more foul
    weather wear now that I've seen what the leather can do.

    If you're considering springing for the UK leather, but are hesitant
    due to the price, trust me, the VALUE is there for winter and foul
    weather wear.

    Preskitt...

    Ron,

    Did you wear your kilt into the Palace Bar on Whiskey Row?

    "Preskitt" is my Dad's hometown; have a lot of good memories there, like the Sharlot Hall Museum, Thumb Butte, the Hotel St. Michael, Granite Dells and of course, "The Rough Rider" statue on the courthouse square! Now you're making me homesick! Just don't start talking about Flagstaff!

    Your patch is in the mail tomorrow -- work and personal life has been crazy the last couple of weeks, but I'm off a 1/2 day tomorrow morning, so it will be leaving the post office then!

    Cheers,

    T.

    Didn't go into the Palace, got sober 15 years ago, but been there in my boozing days. The weather was real nasty with this storm coming through but did get two pics in front of the statue.

    Left a lot of money in the Hotel St. Michael's...at the deadhead shop there. The museum had an old article about the "finding" of Verde Hot Springs back in the early 1900s when an old Apache took a stove up cowboy there to soak away his aches and pains.

    My leather UK seemed to be a novelty in town...had a lot of comments - posted them on another subject, just don't remember which one...

    And, of course, thanks for the cavalry patch...
