ARRRRRGGGGGHHH!!!!

I wasn't ever going to order a sportKilt! *gah*

Let's see, what makes the best sense? $100 for a Sportkilt in the California tartan, or $150 to Rocky for the material and 40 hours of labour to make my own?

You have the skills to do it. There is much more pride in making a cilt yourself.

Yeah, but I've got two kilts in the pipeline in front of the California Tartan one! It'll be *months* before I get around to stitching one up.

sigh

I just called 'em. they think they'll have the California Tartan sportkilts out at the Highland Games this summer, so I'll have a chance to check 'em out, hopefully at Campbell in about six weeks. The material is 8 ounce poly acrylic. 8 ounce is pretty light, but it's do-able during the summer hereabouts. And it's machine-washable, which is nice.

Whatever the case I'll surely buy a sash in it from them for my lady, 'cause I'll never in a million years get her to wear a tartan skirt....she won't wear the one I already got her, but a sash won't break that bank and I can talk her into wearing that once a year or so.
