Internal strife and dilemmas.
My favorite Kilt dealer has a new tartan. Oh how I want it!
Alas, after years of building my ensemble with "Economy" or "Thrifty" I am not purchasing it. My sporrans cost $25, socks $8, and my kilts were less than $100. With the ambiguous size charts: Obese, Substance, Mannly, skinny, and you need some doughnuts.
Last year was fortunate for me, I was offered a good paying, challenging, fun, and permanent job. I made more in three months than the max of the previous seven years. I believe it is time to start purchasing quality items that not only look good, fit perfect but will also last.
I will not speak ill of the dealers I have purchased from. The outfits I bought were cheaper than one good wool kilt. I would not hesitate to steer anyone to the inexpensive dealers either, their items fit well enough, looked good enough, and shipped crazy fast.
I still want that new tartan in his arsenal though. It is pretty.

See if you can just buy a piece of the fabric and have someone make it into a hand sewn tank? Have a mill custom weave it in wool?

Go back and look at the new fabric again after your made to measue wool tank comes in.
