Fantastic!! And you did exactly the right thing sending the scrap and the thread. And they did a fabulous job designing the hose.

And, did you notice that your hose are now featured on Skye Highland Outfitters page??

Those came out beautiful. I'm looking forward to getting a pair myself. They match wonderfully with your marvelous kilt. Fantastic

I didn't mention it in my review of the USAK Auld Lang Syne kilt, but I did not receive any scraps with my finished kilt, and that was a slight drawback for exactly this reason - I think it's good to have extra for color matching like this. I can't tell you how many times the swatch I carried with me saved me from buying the wrong shirt, for instance.

There is necessarily waste in the construction of any kilt. I think it should be mandatory that all kilts are delivered with at least a few of the leftover bits and pieces.

Thanks in part to you, Barb, I was able to get such excellent service from another artisan.

Best,
Rex.

I agree Rex. When suits were my required uniform, my tailor always made sure I had a small swatch of material for my wallet. When purchasing ties (IMHO the most important accessory for a suit, shoes being the second) or shirts, I had in my wallet a sample of every suit in my closet.

Has anyone had issues loading the Hose page from the Skye Highland Outfitters web site? It appears that something in the page causes my computer to load tons of memory and slugs it down. I've talked to Josh and he's aware of some issues and plans on getting things updated. I was just wondering if the problem I have is duplicated with anyone else.

The hose are great and I'll have to put them on the wish list for accessories to get.

Did not want to say anything, but oh yes! I can only access it on my laptop (3gig memory); If I try it on my wife's desktop (2gig memory), then it goes into terminal sieze up and I get no mouse or keyboard control. After half an hour of hard-working computer but no output, I switch off at the mains and re-boot. The site is still on my favourites list, but at the moment is not my favourite favourite.

Oh my gosh! Thanks for the worning. I can't stand when that happens.

Just remember, Rex:

"chunky legs" = more tartan to show off! Think how wimpy and mean (in the UK sense) these would look with less territory to cover.

At least, that's the line I like to use. . .

**M_Beorn** · 8th March 09, 02:32 PM

Ok, well Josh is aware of the issue, and he's an Xmarks member as well, so I'm sure he will be working on it and will let us know when it's up and running properly

Hey guys-
I went to my mothers and tried on her new PC and the same thing happened-It goes to a page and acts like its frozen. Strangely enough, all my mac user friends have no problem. I have absolutely no idea about coding, so I'm at a loss. If anyone knows what to do to change this, I'd appreciate it. I worked for Apple for 12 years, so I'm not a computer dummy, but I DO NOT have html experience. i'll keep fiddling around with it.-Josh
