A purple UK?

[cjbass]

She proceeded to tell me about the purple UK that she had died herself. Not really my cup of tea, but I thought someone here might like the idea of a purple UK.

One of our Crew Leaders in California - David White - has a white Workman's that he dyed purple a few weeks ago.

He is a big strapping hippie guy, and we were working the SF Gay Pride parade together.

He had intended to go for a real deep purple color, but it wound up something along the lines of lavender, due to a new super-poweful washing machine he was unfamiliar with.

At first, he was repulsed. Then curiously intrigued. Then he wore it a couple of days, and now he loves it! He got a lot of really positive comments on it.


Gustav, on the other hand, has one that is the most bizarre collection of yellows oranges and whites... it looks like a pint of some sort of citrus sherbet!!

Another customer sent in a photo of his that he dyed indigo blue. It was RADIANT. But the thread didn't take the color, and stayed perfectly white! It was the greatest combination of colors! I loved it....


Now I just gotta get one before we stop selling them...

For the record, I was in UK HQ 2 weeks ago and they had a purple Spartan on display. It was a prototype. I think it was Large or XL. Call Otto if you are interested.. or maybe CJ can advise on size and availability.

Anyone seen a kilt in the "Heather" unicolor? I'm not sure which mill manufactures it, but when I was looking for a casual kilt last year, a local (as in less than 500 miles from me) highland supplier came back with a Heather-colored kilt from the list of those available to retailers, in the size range that I had specified. When asked how he would characterize the "Heather" color, the retailer responded, "light purple." I'm not quite ready for that hue, yet.

Thanks.

Well, there are a couple tartans like Pride of Scotland that are purply, they don't look so bad.

Of course, my husband has a purple Harley, so I don't think of it as too much of a feminine color anyway. More an oddball color.
