    Good to know that your Tartanweb kilt worked out ok. What are the small hiccups in one of the horizontal tartan lines like?

    And those are some SERIOUS trees...

    Great Pics Brooke...

    What an awesome place. I've only driven through the Santa Cruz area redwoods once...on Rt. 9. I would like to get back up there and do some hiking sometime soon. Those trees are simply amazing.

    PS. What is it about the women in our lives? They always seem to have that look like "Just take the picture already!" LOL

    Here are a couple of close ups of the kilt showing the couple of "get what you pay for issues"





    Here it is in it's entirety, you can see the indicated hiccup at high center of the photo



    Here is one of the selvedge edge following inspection by my assistant. He assures me there is none of that craziness that affected our fellow member's kilt earlier this year.



    Perhaps I'm more tolerant than some, but I do consider the price of an item when deciding what is acceptable or not. This is an 8 yard machine stitched kilt, made of House of Edgar 13oz worsted wool, made to my measurements, for under $250 US. To me, this kilt absolutely is worth what I payed for it. However, with that said, following our fellow member's horrible experience with this vendor, I dont think I would ever take that gamble with them in the future.

    Cheers,
    Brooke

    Sounds like a good deal to me. Those hiccups are unfortunate but, thankfully, relatively small.
