    Kilt, me? I thought it would never happen!

    So after school I trekekd down to visit Steve over at the FK headquarters. I arrive and he's just finishing up the buttonhole stitching on my kilt, and boy does it look GOOD. It looks even better wrapped around a waist, namely mine. It feels like the most natural thing I have ever worn, and I didn't feel awkard in it at all... excpet when it comes to remaining modest whilst sitting (and one or two other positions I've found so far) So, thank you again, Steve, you have another (very) satisfied customer, and to anyone who asks, he comes highly recommended!

    Congratulations on your first kilt, Jewddha! It's not every day that you can WALK down to your kiltmaker to put on your new kilt. You'll never want to take it off!
    Cheers,
    David

    Let's see the pics of that kilt. That would be so awesome to be that close to a kilt maker. Some of you kilt makers need to relocate to the South. There are lots of available retail spaces.

    CavScout,

    Living so close to the kiltmaker can be detrimental to ones wallet, though. I know that a walk down to the UK headquarters never ends up with me walking home empty handed... I have to keep my eyes off the scratch and dent list, because at that point, I know I'll have a short jones and light pockets.
