    You might go on to mention that they would have plenty of time to order a kilt, belt and sporran from SWK before the holiday and that actually owning and wearing one's own kilt might help to broaden their horizons, enlighten them and POUND IT INTO THEIR SHAGGY HAIDS THAT THE KILT IS NOT A COSTUME!

    Try not to get steamed...

    Craig,

    You are a master punster and have caused untold damage to us on XMTS.

    You finally have a target that truly deserves your unholy skill.

    And let the rest of us pity these poor unfortunate devils...

    Cheers

    Jamie, I'm a little busy to travel out to Phoenix right now - can I just second Auld Argonian's post, along with Rocky's idea of sending them to Stillwater (or maybe USAKilts)?
    Yes, they should be made to understand that their request is rather insulting to someone who wears the kilt out of respect for his heritage. But they may be making this insult out of ignorance, and not intention. A simple explanation may suffice to make them understand.


    Of course, if they're being stupid instead of ignorant - "Garg 'n Uair Dhuisgear"!
