    The Flesh is Weak

    I just bought 3 meters of Black Stewart polyviscose for cheap off of ebay. Heck, the shipping is half again more than the cost of the fabric...$33 for three meters of it.

    It's warmed up a lot here, so I think I'll bang out a quick casual kilt in Black Stewart for these hotter days. I'll pleat it to sett, so after this one and the next one, I'll be a bleedin' expert. Right.....

    Right, tell Me I'm not crazy. **eyeroll** I NEED another lightweight kilt for summer, right?

    You always need another lightweight kilt for the summer. Can you really find a situation where you wouldn't need another kilt?

    And look at it this way, it is more experience before tackling the XMarks tartan!

    And for @ $45 for material, who really cares if you don't do it this year and wait until next?

    Cool ! another Clan Ebay kilt !!!

    I about busted up when you said that the other night.
    If you don't think you need another lightweighter for summer (say maybe Pleasanton ...) I think a Cali from you-know-where would do it but I'll give you all a review on it as soon as I can.

    Of course you do! Everyone needs another lightweight casual kilt. Actually that's all I have so far. I need a tank myself.

    DARNIT....He mis-measured or messed up on the ad itself. He only has 1.3 meters of Black Stewart, not 3 meters. Drattittall. So I'm getting a refund.

    Oh,well, so now I'll get going on the gray wool/poly tartan from F&K.
