    Well, I got it back today, and I'm glad to say it works. Obviously the apron coverage is a bit wider, and I've got to do some ironing, but I just put it on with a belt and walked around for a bit, stretched, sat. It's all good, and the straps go into the middle buckle, so if I either gain or lose weight in the next year it should still be able to stay on me.

    Glad it worked out...having the adjustability must be reassuring.

    I guess that I still don't get the customs-between-the-USA-and-Canada business...I've said it before and will, no doubt, say it again...whatever happened to NAFTA...NAFTA was one of those things that everybody complained about but no one ever fully understood, I guess. I can see the possibility of getting socked for something that one is bringing in for re-sale but not for personal use. Granted that there are fine Canadian kiltmakers but Stillwaters are a sort of "niche market" and it might not be comparing apples to oranges but it is like comparing one variety of apples to another.

    Obviusly, if there were more kilted men in international politics, this wouldn't be a problem...however, the thought of "W" in a kilt is enough to give me the willies.

    Best

    Yeah, to be quite honest I don't understand NAFTA either. At all. Does free trade only count if it's done by anything with a prefix 'Big?'

    But yeah, certain politicians in kilts would certainly throw me a bit.

    I'm definately looking at Canadian supplies for my 3rd, but a SWK shadow heavyweight or a UK would be nice too, or even another sport kilt in a Nova Scotia tartan after my trip, but this time with all the fixin's.

    check out Freedom kilts in Victoria, BC or R kilts in Stratford, ON for the comteporary style kilt, and check out Canadian Casual Kilts in Fregus, ON for the Nova Scotia or Maple Leaf in Poly/viscose (not the same as a Stillwater which is arcylic). All three have great looking products and a fantastic reputation for service.
