I Feel Dumb!!

[J.B. Simpson]

For your hose or from the wife?

Either way I won't get flashes! Now I just need to figure out which flashes I can live without!!

The alternative to suffering at the hands of the spouse, might possibly be a visit to ye local fabric shoppe. I suggest SEARCH the D.I.Y. forum for the how to make your own flashes. For very little expenditure, coordinated solid colour flashes can be had. I have used denim and heavy cotton twill. Most of the material has come out of the remnants bin for cheap. a stiffening lining material, some elastic, ( the waistband off of discarded underwear) some velcro, fabric glue, and scissors. If you wish some binding tape needle and thread can finish them off properly. I made four different coloured sets while in jones mode for my USAK American Heritage. I do own three sewing machines. I also have constructed three kilts from scratch thus far. I am not a kiltmaker yet, but am practicing.
Hint--- If ye spouse likes to sew or do crafts things, invite her along to a Joanns or similar venue for both of you to be creative together. She might warm to helping you.

That is a great idea SteveB!! I can live and still get flashes (both kinds sportbilly). See I said I was dumb, I didn't even think of DIY!!!

You were smart enough to look to XMTS for advice though! Now, should we ask for pics of the flashes?

Being that it is a family friendly site I might be able to post the flashes to match my USAK when it gets here, but not the other kind.
