    Oh boy are you gona love the new Dress Model FK.

    Think Casual Model with higher rise (at the Naval), and fastened with self colored straps and buttons. (kinda like the extended waistband on some trousers). But no buttons on the apron front.

    Two or three button adjustability.

    Even wider aprons than our current models.

    And all our current pocket options.

    I haven't finished the prototype yet and we won't be in production until spring.

    Price somewhere in the $265.00cdn range.

    Other than finding the time to do new design work, I'm having to re-think my kilts completly.

    Pocket placement is different. Fell calculations are different. Slope of waistband is different.

    I've done one prototype and it still needs some tweeking.

    Customers who have already payed for and are jonesing for their kilt come first.

    Smart man.

    I've been quietly visiting your website and looking at the Casual model for about a month, now. A new development like this one might shove me off the fence and get an order out.

    Alan, was going to make a smart aleck comment about did you mean off the fence or out of the closet, but I will refrain. The more appropriate comment might be, do you really need a reason to order from Steve other than that he makes kilts (schimps)?
