    My wife TOLD me that I NEED to buy two more kilts.

    After picking up my new Scottish National at the USS Higland Games last weekend, my wife and I were talking...

    She was looking at my 4 to 5 yard Campbell of Argyll that we bought in Scotland, and she noticed it's starting to show some wear from my sporran and strap. She wants it to stay nice, as it is a souvenir from our honeymoon. She also commented that the only Black Watch kilts that I have are my cheap acrylic and my 22 oz. Canadian military issue. So I have a BW that's great for yard work or punk shows, and one for winter wear, but nothing in between.

    So now my wife has TOLD me that I NEED to order a Black Watch and a Campbell of Argyll from the vendor I purchased the Scottish National from. She sells 8 yard, machine stitched kilts in Viscose/Acetate for $135, and they are close enough that I could go pick up an order and save on shipping, or have an order shipped pretty cheap.

    So, it looks like I'll be getting two more kilts as soon as I can save up the money... After all, my wife say I have to, and she's the boss, right?

    Wow. What a woman! I'm interested in a kilt vendor selling tartan kilts in that price range. Who is it? Are these kilts something like SWK?

    I don't know how their kilts compare to SWK, as I don't have, and have not seen, an SWK. The name of the vendor is MacKinnon's kilts. Theyve been doing highland games for a while, and are in the process of getting into the online market. Their website (which is not up yet) is http://mackinnonsqualitykilts.com/

    They are also on Myspace at http://www.myspace.com/mackinnonsqualitykilts

    You, Sir, are a fortunate man, indeed. I must concur that she should be obeyed, as quickly as possible.
