    Point, set & match. The victor is chasem. He can pick up his new kilt at the exit.

    Trousers?? What are they? OK I know what they are but with the coin toss tells me which way the wind is blowing. {LOL}

    I seem to alternate between the "medicate a craving" method of purchase and the "jump on a deal" method.

    And there's the "credit card has stopped smoking" maybe it'll work again method.

    Sometimes I've ordered in a trance, induced by the smell of leather swatches sent from a Canadian kiltmaker...no names, but his initials are RKilt.

    With a wide variety of kilts now its pretty easy to find one I feel like wearing on any given day for whatever activity.

    Ron, with your stable, you should be able to find at least 5-6 you feel like wearing on any given day. Shoot, I can find at least 2-3 I want to wear on any given day!

    For me, for the last few UKs I've purchased, its been a "jump on the ebay deal" method.

    Woodland Camo for $90
    1st Gen Survival and Workman's, $130 for both.

    But before that there were a couple "aw, what the heck" purchases.

    The next couple will most likely not be purchased, but self made. Which is tough, as I have enough in the savings account at the moment to get 3-4 nice handsewn 16oz-ers, but that money is headed for a new recumbent bike. That desire trumps my kilt lust.
