    Okay, then this is #925. She didn't do the cards or numbers for the other four kilts from her.

    Won't be long until kilt #1000 is looming. That should be special!

    I agree Ron, when I bought my first FK I was greatly impressed with the cards. Like any business, it's not just about having a good product or even a good price, it's about marketing. This is where UK excel, they have done a great job of not only marketing but almost creating a cult following of their kilts.
    Sadly, their poor service, communication and organising (IMHO) may loose them ground gained in recent years.

    So well done Freedomkilts, good kilts, good service, good communication and good marketing (not to mention a great name and logo).


    and when I loose a couple of kilos I'll fit into my FK again

    The cards are a nice extra touch, Ron.

    Ron I bet if you look you will find a number, my first one was on a very small card stapled to the care instructions she sent, the second one was the very nice card that you mentioned in the beginning of the thread.

    Thanks Rob,

    That works...dug them out of my Kathy's Kilts file and sure enough...

    My first, Macdonald Lord of the Isles was #770

    I must have misplaced my Macdonald of Kingsburgh...still looking.

    My X Marks was #841

    My Cameron Black and Red was #873

    And the Scott was, of couse, #925

    Thanks for showing me that.

    I must admit this is a nice tough if your kilts are destined to survive the present owner. I suggest writing the date on the card when the kilt was received and arching them... in a photo album perhaps.

    I read this thread and tended to agree with you guys that it is a pretty classy move to have a little note / care instructions in with the kilt.

    Kelly and I discussed it and will be doing something like that from now on. I wanted to give proper credit to Steve from FK and the people up here for the idea. We're not doing the "kilt # 123" or card idea like Steve does, but we are now including a sheet in with the kilts detailing the tartan chosen, the measurements, the maker (kelly or I), detailed washing instructions, etc...
