    This is all your fault, you know

    Before I joined XMarks, I was satisfied with slowly replacing my p@#t$ with accummulating kilts. I had my three UKs, a sport kilt for knocking about the house and woods, a Lochcarron 4-yd for occassions requiring a tartan kilt - I was doing okay. Inside of a month of joining, I had orders in for a PK (jonesing jonesing jonesing jonesing) and a Canadian Casual Kilt (jonesing jonesing jonesing jonesing jonesing). And that's another thing - I didn't have a kilt jones before - I could patiently wait the entire time for kilt, hose, belt, buckles, etc.. Now I'm buying kilt items off of eBay and wondering when they'll show up.

    But tonight shows how far I've gone. I don't need another kilt at the moment. I have enough to wear. I have two more on the way. I'm okay ... but I got an e-mail from McRok.com for 20% off everything. I don't need another kilt ... but I could replace the sport kilt with a real (or more real for the traditionalists) 4-yarder in the same weight and tartan ... at 20% off ... but by the time it would arrive, it would be too cold to wear it until March or April next year (we're talking 10 oz material here) ... I'm not getting any overtime right now ... but it's 20% off ... aaaarrggghhhh!!!!

    So now I'm jonesing for a PK, a CCK, and a 10 oz 4-yd Locharron in Weathered Hunting Robertson and two pair of kilt hose (I need more, don't I, and they're 20% off; you can never have too many kilt hose, right?)

    So I'm going to do the only thing I can to ease this anguish of spending money - I'm going to help all of you enable your addictions and spend your money!
    The coupon code for 20% off at McRok.com is ... PM me and I'll tell you.

    I got that same email from McRok. Tempting.

    As an aside, I see you're from Grand Island. I was kilted there last June. Nice place.

    They specify their 8 yrd to be pleated to the set, but their casual page doesn't specify. Does anyone know how they would pleat a 16 oz 4 yrd?

    My 13 oz 4 yd is pleated to sett. Don't have a 16 oz (yet), but it should be the same.

    Thank you!
    Of course once the web site is up, I'll have easy access to another access to yet another place to look for kilts! (Good quality three-strap PV kilts at good prices (starting at $180 CAD)! Everyone looking at a PV should check him out! (after he finishes mine )
