    Correct. I purchased from them at the Mesa Highland Games on the last day there - got some deals on things, as is the usual for the Games on the last day, and the paperwork shows the Palm Springs address.

    I have a theory about why aprons lift or don't sit quite right. It has to do with the plane in which it sits on your hips...if the back of the waistband drifts down lower than the front it sort of pushes the bottom of the kilt forward and creates problems with the way the front of the kilt hangs. If you hoist the back of the waistband back up, the aprons straighten out...try it.

    Now it could be said that this wouldn't happen if you were wearing a perfectly fitted kilt but, come on...I wish all my suits and shirts were custom made too...how many of us were actually measured by the kilt maker and had the kilt made to perfect order? In many cases we are buying our waist size and hoping for the best or measuring ourselves and forwarding the dimensions to the kilt maker.

    Best
