    Is there any possibility that either the Gentleman from North Carolina or the Gentleman from Georgia might consider that a high horse may not be the most advantageous mount for a Gentleman who wishes to be considered credible?

    Surely both Gentlemen understand that a 10% taper can equal a 10 degree taper only under rather unusual circumstances.

    A man in a kilt on a high horse may not be good for anyone around

    Not quite sure what this is supposed to mean, but if you refer to my post (number 8) you can see that I had already answered based upon what I knew and based upon Mr. Kidder's statements about the kilts he makes. For this, I then was presented with " Are your kilts tapered 10% or not? This is a "YES" or "NO" question. Any other answer will be understood for what it is."

    There are many different styles, sizes, materials, cuts, points of origin, price ranges and far more that enter into one's preferences. In my experience, there are a sizable number of people who have been totally thrilled with their Kidder Kilts...and for a host of very sound reasons based upon material, looks, and the quality of construction.

    Personally, I think this particular horse has been ridden into the ground.

    Dismounting should then offer no challenge.

    Oh I just LOVE a good, spirited (not necessarily good-spirited) round of repartee. I'd love to see this thread closed on a high and funny note.

    Separately, I am impressed with Chef's clever comparison of the taper in SWK v. BK kilts.

    Thank you. It seemed the only way to come up with an answer.

    Can't necessarily come up with a clever "high and funny note", but I CAN surely offer this as an alternative ...hopefully to be received in the intended spirit..

    I have gone across the board in the listings in MENSPLACE on eBay and begun the process of marking everything down 15 0r 10 Percent. Having already been very well visited by the good folks here, maybe this will make it even easier for others to actually experience the quality of Randy's construction!
