It'll be quite some time before I see my X-Marks tartan, cuz I'm having Steve ship my 2-meters directly to Matt to be made into one of his fine box-pleat kilts.

Since I've got 9 kilts to wear right now (not all at the same time), I'm not jonesing too badly. As long as I have the X-Marks kilt in time for my October trip to Scotland, I'll be satisfied.

It's a good thing this X-Marks tartan became available when it did, though, or I would've spent that money on a kilt in the American Express tartan. I've worked there for over 13 years, so I figure I've earned the right to wear it & actually, I think it's a pretty nice looking tartan. (And no, the tartan isn't made up of alternating pictures of Amex green, gold, platinum & black cards! ) Here's what the Amex tartan looks like. I'll probably still get one, later...


...and then I'll probably get a kilt in the Moffat Clan or Highland Granite tartan, & then...
