Hey Brad,

Guessing that's be a Buzz Kidder kilt? They're down in Sierra Vista...I think...

Or, they used to be...now it says San Antonio...?

But then there's this, Buzz Kidder Originals in California??

And the guy at the booth in Flagstaff had a sign that said David something selling Buzz Kidders....

Wonder what's going on?

Yes, that would be the vendor. I couldn't remember for the life of me the name. I bought the olive canvas. The guy at the booth, unfortunate to say but true, was pretty much oblivious to the product he was selling. He tried talking to me as if I was a completely new to kilt wearing . Don't get me wrong, I'm rather new compared to many (especially on Xmarks.) But, I consider myself pretty well educated through research (more than a small part is due to Xmarks.) I was even wearing my "nice" Henderson wool kilt. I went ahead and tried the canvas kilt on over my Henderson and he kept trying to position it on my hips. He also informed me the bottom of the knee was fine. When I asked any question as far as the measurements he replied "sure" with a shrug of the shoulders.

Ah well, I just kinda fitted myself to make sure the off the peg measurements meant the same thing I was used to. I'm very happy with the kilt. Matter of fact I'm wearing it today paired with a $4 driver cap in an olive/white tartan pattern from Wal Mart! I'm a huge advocate for Wal Mart hats, as the price is almost nothing and they seem last forever. I'm just pumped when I can find one to fit me (I wear a 7 7/8 - 8 in a baseballl cap!)

Congrats on # 4. It sounds as if your addiction is progressing nicely.

At least you got "waited on." Have been to games where whoever was hired to work for Buzz Kidder just sat in chairs, the display kilts had badly curled pleats, and they mostly seemed to be selling t-shirts.

Where ever their sporrans come from they're a work horse. BK seems to be a line that is carried and sold by a lot of other vendors. Some people don't like them, but I do like those drop down leather sporran holder straps they sell that let the sporran hang from your belt....don't use them much, but like them.

And....the trouble with buying kilts from vendors at highland games is that you usually don't buy other kilts to soothe the jonesing because there is no jonesing....

The Buzz Kidders are not bad for the money. That 10 oz army duck is pretty rugged stuff. I've go 3 of them and enjoy them for casual wear. In fact, I'll be wearing my navy blue tomorrow. The salesperson you encountered was not very well informed. As you already know, these are traditional style and worn higher on the waist.

Hey Ron (and anybody else who wants to chime in), what do you think of the BK's? I have come across a number of sites that re-sell them and wonder if they are worth a look. They seem to be fairly rugged, but how are they for upkeep? The material seems like it would get wrinkled fairly quickly and need ironing too often to suit me.

More Kilts??? Very good!!!!!

HAHAHA!! Welcome to the Clan.

I did the samething before. I had to wait for my first UK, because I ordered it off the internet and I had to wait 6-8 weeks for it. For my second one, I picked up the phone and ordered one that they have in stock. My third was one off the Dent and Scratch list and I got it within a week.

Oh....I could never survive that!

The two they are making for me I ordered about a week ago and they said I should have them in four weeks. I thought that was awfully quick. However, I sort of said yeah....whatever.....I still want those but tell me what you have in stock that you can send out to me now.

Ron,

If you click on the wholesale link at buzzkidder.com they mention becoming a Buzz Kidder retailer. I have 3 Buzz Kidders that I purchased through the Scottish Tartans Museum.
