That tiny kilt would probably fit me :-)

Don't worry, it didn't come off as preachy at all.

It's a shame you missed the kilt, but usually if you email them they are pretty good about arranging to get one in the size you want.
I've ordered a few things from them that way before at no extra cost.

If it started out as a 16oz kilt I wonder what it would weight per yard now that it has been felted?

think how warm it is going to be this winter.

Well, I mentioned that I am going to be doing a project later in the week to replace the now very small kilt that is going to a friend's little brother.

Here's a picture of the tartan involved. (I'm pretty sure it's just a random fashion tartan, but it is very nice. If anyone does happen to know which tartan it is, let me know.)

I'm pretty sure no-one here will be able to guess accurately exactly what the project is, other than a replacement kilt.

So keep your eyes peeled on the D.I.Y thread.

It's now a 26 ounce kilt! And what WAS eight yards is now six.

**ouch**

i have this feeling that Arlen let out a "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" when he saw his kilt.

That really does suck, dude.

ummm maybe you could make a dozen of flashes from it?
or a nice bandana...
what did your dad say?Did he offer you to get a new one?

**JRB** · 16th August 07, 02:22 PM

Wow! That settles it. I'm never, ever getting into a hot tub.

A little irritated (they were my favorite gloves), I showed my friend the result and asked him what I did wrong.

"What did you do?" he asked.

"I boiled it, just like you said," I replied.

"No . . . you were supposed to *oil* it!" he said.

Except I did that too!!
