    Is this a tailor that JDEZ refered you too? See if they have an Iraqi word for "Butch"

    Seriously though, once you get this done you will have "earned" your Burn's Dinner I admire your effort!

    sounds like the poor guys needs the word for "BUTCHER" instead - considering what that person did to that innocent piece of fabric.

    With the thin material you can dispense with the flashes.

    Bummer Jay, at least you can have a laugh about it, hope that you can do a translation adjustment to it, but instead of the Rhinestone Cowboy we now have the Rhinestone Kiltman.

    We're not laughing AT you,we're laughing WITH you. I have friends stationed over there so I know a good laugh is often needed.

    It's not just a language issue. It's the lack of a cultural reference. That's funny as he## though.

    I'm bustin' a gut over here!

    By all means

    Yes ladies and gentleman, this is going down as one of my more memorable moments. I posted the story so that all of you could enjoy it as much as I have, and I am glad it is working. In the end....it would have all been worth it. I hope. So much for the cheap kilt in Baghdad. By the time I finish with it, it would have been cheaper to buy an 8 yard from matt. Matt, would you put this travesty in the museum? cause I can send it to you. You wont have any photos of me wearing it, but maybe I will hold it up in a photo.
