Happy Birthday to ME!

[YoungMan]

Chronologically during my birthday today:
1) Boss informs me that we got enough work done today that I don't have to come in at 7am on Saturday as scheduled.
2) Got a call from my dream company saying that I had been chosen to interview with them for a position I really want.
3) During dinner, my Dad says "You know what you need?" "A new kilt!"


At that point my instincts kick in, and I turn into a rambling one main debate about tartan, pleat, and kiltmaker. After I come back to my senses, my second response is "Do you know how much a good kilt costs?" I spent some time informing and decided that I would appreciate the gift while not taking advantage of it. I offered to split the final costs with him 50/50.

Now to the business. What oh what shall I get?
My first thought:
8yd 16oz Young Modern knifed to the sett

Other strong considerations:
- Tennessee State Tartan

(Always a West TN boy at heart. Would love to have a piece of the Volunteer state with me that also reflects my Scottish heritage.)

- Military Box Pleating (like the idea of something with the swish but that will keep the pleats well while seated for long periods)


Just wanted to get some feedback. Opinions, etc.
Knife versus Military Box
Young M versus Tennessee State
