Ok, thanks everyone!

That's just what I needed to hear. Time to move on to someone more reliable.

Not sure exactly where you are in So Cal. But your best bet might be heading up to Ventura in Two weeks for the Highland Games there and shop and buy what you can see from the vendors there. You might even be able to give Clansman direct feedback, he'll probably be there.

Or check your yellow pages or google up Scottish gear retailers you can drive to.

The Internet is overwhelmed with folks who claim to have stock of Scottish goods when all they do is act as a middle man while you wait and wait and wait for products that, if you're lucky, may be what you wanted, of fair value, and correctly sized.

Here's the website for the Ventura games http://www.seaside-games.com/
enjoy the bagpiped surfer music.

I just discovered a retail store front by the name of "The Tartan Patch" about 15 minutes from my house. I plan to take a drive on my next days off. They also do jacket and vest rentals, which as much as they pain me to wear, are going to be a must.

First of all I've no brains at all but I would cover my *** by getting a second source of accessories:

Kilt hose: knee high socks in a complementary colour to yer' kilt.

Shirt: If formal, I'd get a long sleve wing tip (oh and starch it) and a bow tie.

Some misc: eBay.

T-shirts: Walmart, XXXL turn inside out, tailor the sides but leave the leignth so that your willy does not chap on the starched shirt.

Etc: fake it baby, a horse blanket pin looks like a kilt pin.

Ralph has been at the games in Estes Park, CO for the last 4 or 5 years. Wasn't there this year. Sure didn't miss him either after the poor job he's done. See this thead, and this one, and this one, or maybe this one. They all show a trend that you won't like.

oh, I forgot to mention that Ralph did not grace Tulsa with his presence this year. I was not at all disappointed.

hmm..not to hijack the thread...hmm..well..it would hijack the thread..never mind..

He better hope he doesn't show back up to the arky games. My buddy is still waiting on his kilt he ordered back in april, his wedding is only 3 weeks off now.

The second link Livingston posted was my thread. I did finally get it, happy with it, and will never order from them again
