>>Do smaller guys tend to be flatter in the "buttockal area"<<

Reminds me of a story my Dad liked to tell. He lived in Texas for quite a few years and when he went to get a pair of pants (trousers) made the tailor asked him if was Canadian. My dad was surprised and said "yes, how do you know?" The tailor replied that he suffered from that Canadian disease 'noassatall'.

That's funny, my family uses the same phrase except we replace our last name with Canadian, cool.

It's because of our diet of whale blubber and moose meat. Good choice on your first kilt Cat and a belated welcome from Ontario, Canada. A USAK semi-trad is a well built and custom made kilt, not an 8 yard hand sewn but also one that is built just for you. Wonderful tartan also.

Cat,
You will be very pleased with the result. Rocky's service is great and the quality is superb. You are now an official member of the Rocky Jonesing Society.

I'm already thinking about at least two others I'd like to get in the future. I'd love to get one in the Warrior tartan to wear to Rockies baseball games. And of course, I figure I needs me a Black Watch at some point! That might be my "tank" that I hope get next fall, but I'm not sure yet...there's about a dozen tartans that I already want a kilt made out of!

I'm already antsy, and I only placed my order less than twelve hours ago! I guess I better get working on a sporran and a new belt to kill the time (or at least get me through a couple days.)

Lets not talk about the Rockies please...it still hurts too much....but, if you MUST go purple, here's a couple pics of my USA Kilts casual in the Warrior tartan pleated to stripe.

As I've often said, if I had it to do over I'd have gone semi-trad with all my USA Kilts. No way a put down of the casuals, they are what they are and they're great. I just enjoy the semi-trad look more.

And of course you'll need a pair of purple kilt hose to go with it...
