Thanks Ham,

Memories of seeing pics of you in the white UK are a key reason I went ahead and got it....that and that no one else snapped it up off the scratch and dent rack while I was pondering.

The brown shirt ideal looks great. Silly that when I have this big mass of white, that should go with most anything, I find myself wanting to key in on the brown Utilikilt embroidery color to match things up. Like, I've gotta match things to that brown spot on my back pocket.

Other thing I noticed after first wearing is that it looks like some of the leather dye on my belt comes off on the white waist. Guess it doesn't matter when I'm wearing it since the belt covers it up. Just noticed it coming out of the laundry.

The plans for Hopi embroidery seem distant since there's actually not a lot of area to work on and it'd have more of a front and center loincloth look. Hopi kilts have their embroidery on the right side.

I like it plain too, and think it gives me more options than a tie dye would...even though I'm still confused by the options I can do trial and error to work those out.

Thanks for the feedback.

Ron
