    Ahh, okay, I get it now. The skimping reference comes from many many years working in the cut and sew business where every tiny little bit mattered to the big picture of profits. We even counted the thread used. Understand the tartan positioning too.

    So you're right, maybe, maybe not. Maybe he pattern maker has a small face.

    As most shoppers have found out, and as most folks in the cut and sew industry know well similar garments marked as a certain size, but from different manufacturers, can vary greatly when measured.

    The hope of having a cool tartan mask to wear turned to disappointment when the masks arrived and my face was too large to fit into them.

    I bought some from UT Kilts in the Royal Stewart and Black Watch tartans. The price was very good and the quality was good to (IMO!).
