I agree with you, Jake. I sent an email to Gardner since Turpin said he thought he was living in Fredericksburg, VA, my stomping grounds. Gardner replied he was actually in Richmond, a little south of me. He is going to school picking up some cash on the side in making kilts. Seems Turpin is happy with his kilt. Right now, seems Durakilt is out of most of its kilt material, but judging from the the website it's an interesting offering.

I went wilth a Buzz Kidder this week but if Durakilt had the putty material I may have gone with them. Maybe next time, I may go for the desert MARPAT. I hope Gardner joins the madness and becomes a member of the fourm.
