    Kilting at SAM's

    When I went to Sams in Greenville SC last week, a father stopped me and asked , where did you get the Kilts? He wanted one for Christmas. I told him from Stillwaterkilts.com. His wife then came up and said that their son wanted one. They were suprised at his request. Also one of the employees stopped over and wanted info also. It was a great day to have people come to ask you positive questions about the Kilts.

    Yes, I gave a plug for Stillwaterkilts and I live in Chicago and Greer part of the year.

    Maybe you should be getting a commission from Jerry. It's good to see this kind of positive reaction to the kilt.

    That's encouraging! Glad to hear you had such a good experience.
    I confess that I've been timid about the prospect of wearing a kilt into Sam's. Just a reminder to never assume.
    Guess I'm a little more narrow-minded than I thought. Thanks for prying it back open a bit!

    I've been to SAM's kilted and nobody blinked. I live in a very multi-cultural area and I guess people are used to a variety of cultural garb.

    Now you've done it. Santa is going to have to call Jerry and make sure he can have them under the tree for Christmas. As if the poor guy didn't have enough to do already.

    Seriously, nice work.
