    Got ya Jock, point, set, and match!!1

    Can't one really question the true historicity of anything though?

    I really appreciate the input folks, love to hear it from you guys!

    I don't really buy into the "ancient" trend. I have seen some pretty brilliant, bright, early natural dyes. Saying they weathered and faded is one thing, but pushing those colors as ancient I am not sure I buy into.

    Now the weathered, wow, I can't handle the orange, I feel like, and this is just for me, I would be doing adverts for the old Howard Johnson's chain.

    Now weathered Ayrshire, that's a thought, and I do like that tartan!

    I feel a pain in my hip pocket coming on!

    Weathered Ayrshire would look pretty good. It'd have to be a custom weave since no one carries it.

    Well, so much for that idea John, thanks for dangling that carrot! Here I am wondering if I am being fiscally responsible considering another kilt, and you are telling me about custom weaves, and with this current exchange rate!

    Thanks Buddy!

    You'll be getting the Cutty Sark special blend for Yule!

    Sorry! Just trying to be honest! Besides, investing in a kilt is always fiscally responsible. Look how they retain their value!

    You do know that, beside the usual 10% discount, I do offer partial payments.

    Gosh I hate to admit this, but John's got a point.
    Ever sold a diamond ring? Let's see a 1.01 caret round F VISII retail oh about $3200...sale price when you absolutly have got to have the cash, oh maybe $1100(more like 900-1000).

    One of Johns hand made's with most but not all the bells and whistles $500. Resale in dire emergancy to a X-marker $350.00. Forget the gold and diamonds I'm buying kilts!

    Dall_Piobaire buy the RED one.

    I've parted with many things in an emergency, including an xwife, one of the things I couldn't bring myself to part with would be a kilt by Kathy, John, or Matt.

    Besides, at most I only plan to have three!

    Booster I already have a RED one.

    So buy another RED one.




    Or a GREEN one!



    Maybe Blue ?


    Just don't get the PINK one! Too hard to get matching hose.


    I know. I know three is the max, just three, trust me three is all I want or will ever need......Gosh that's a good looking Tartan! Well maybe four, yup four! Thats it! I can stop at four..........and so it goes.

    Trust me, I know.......
