Hello everyone,

I was led to the site doing research for my potential next kilt. I'm a Stewart on my mothers side and tend to stick with the family tartans unless I plan to really go out there and buy a utilikilt (I did see a model that would hold most of a 12 pack). I have an unlabeled 4-5 meter casual kilt in Black Stewart that was a gift from my parents a few years ago. If my profile picture is working, that is me and my fiance from last St. Patrick's Day in Richmond, VA.

Hope you are back from deployment in time for the Virginia or Richmond Games!

Hi, Rod, and welcome to XMTS from the bottom end of Africa.
My military time included a spell in a tropical region just south of Angola. You have to acclimatise before you start working the territory.
Of course, I was in a relatively humid region. Iraq, I imagine, is extremely dry away from the big rivers. But the heat gets you both ways.
Regards,
Mike
