I am in Bloomington city of the Mall of America and darn not one
Scottish entity in all of its 500+ stores. But that is not all bad we
have Jerry with Stillwater Kilts almost next door and a better bargain
you will not find anywhere in the kilt business. High Quality and the
best 'Bang for the Buck' bar none! With no taxes on clothing in this
state you can not go wrong with a SWK economy kilt. Why with all
the running around assembling pieces and parts to make a kilt and
then finding the time to sew it all together - SWK has what you need
right at hand for a most reasonable price. And you will pass muster at
any Scottish function. As for making a kilt or altering one Xmarks has
some of the best people to ask for help; Barb, author of "Art of Kilt
Making" and M. A. C. Newsome to name two.
So it is with great pleasure to welcome you to this Forum!
Aloha, another Minnesotan!

Once, at a job interview for the Minnesota State Fair someone thought I was Hawiian and said aloha to me...now I use aloha all the time! Hopefully I will be getting my Kiltmaking book soon to make a 16oz traditional kilt!

One day my friend and I need to go on a Scottish excursion...SWK and The Celtic Croft!
