    I have that same Ireland's National semi-traditional so I know every word you wrote is the truth. Have two other semi-trads of the same quality too.

    Now...if you really want a treat...quality for low price...pick a tartan you like and order up one of Rocky and Kelly's USA Kilt Casuals.

    Its no accident that I own four and have four more on order. I'm guessing you'd like a casual for its light weight, swish, and quality. You can't lose by trying one. But I warn you my friend, you may develop a sudden urge to accumulate some more casuals.

    Many thanks for that, Ron. Who knows, I might very well take your advice, but I think I'll have to wait until I have the four kilts I have on order from other highly respected kiltmakers here in Europe! Although, that does not prevent me from starting a "USA Kilts Wants List" right away, does it?!

    Just a thought: I'll probably need a couple of really lightweight kilts for my California visit in October - could have Rocky send them to my hosts there to await my arrival!!! Must think this one through......

    MacSimoin,

    I must say I really liked these two lines of your version

    And I'm too sexy for my hose too sexy for my hose
    Wan' shine my ghillie brogues


    and

    I'm too sexy for my trews too sexy for my trews
    Too sexy to use


    I tip my hat to you!

    Cheers

    Right back at ya...though your ending is far better:

    "I'm too kilted for this song".

    I can almost hear these very words coming from Ham as he abruptly stops dancing, quickly turns from the camera and swishes his kilt in feigned contempt for the trousered masses. Fade to black, and on to a McVities commercial...

    BRILLIANT!!

    Guys,

    While Stillwater is also an advertiser with Xmarks, this thread is in the USAKilts special forum. Please try and avoid the use of other kiltmakers in these special forums. Rocky (and the other advertisers) pay to advertise with Xmarks and for that reason Hank has added special forums for them. It's just not really fair to discuss other kiltmakers in one company's section.

    Cheers guys (and gals).
