    HEy Guys-
    My brother would certainly cut me slack on this, so in the end, its not the end of the world, but it was such sheer stupidity that I just can't believe it. Also, I just can't give someone an item that isn't 100% in my book. Thats my philosophy that i stick to. I have sent back custom ordered kilt hose, jackets and doublets in the past because they something was just not right about them. I've repaired the hole, and its not tooo bad...But it will forever be noticeable if he does not wear a belt. Also-Hey Jeff BP stands for "Box Pleated" and DW stands for Double Width ;-).

    I guess Its the fact that its the first REAL mistake I've made that I can't go back and fix 100%. In a way I'm like , "Thank God it was for my brother and not MATT NEWSOME!!"

    But if it had been for Matt, you'd likely be using his design with inner strap that doesn't call for any strap slit at all

    Stuff happens. I try not to beat myself up about it, too much, while at the same time striving for my own achievable level of perfection.
