    Miracle!! My first UK Workman's arrives early!!

    Was just talking to UK headquarters earlier in the week and they told me the three UK's I ordered 10/2 wouldn't be shipped until late November...

    But the Black UK Workman's arrived today...just four weeks of jonesing. It is beautiful. Wow!! I am impressed. Looks very very sharp.

    And just in time for the Pagan holidays this weekend

    This kilt buying is like flower shopping, they're all good...so get a rose, an orchid, a mum, a daffodil, etc. etc...

    Yikes Ron! After investing all that fundage on the modern kilts... and now you're diving into the Scottish hand-sewn traditional "tanks"?!

    You're truly a brave (and hopefully wealthy) soul!

    Aye Laddies....'tis the last gasp of my smouldering plastic.

    Some computer somewhere decided I was worthy of an increased credit limit right when my kilt addiction kicked in....what a lovely addiction to have...

    Thanks Glen,

    I soaked my brain in booze for many many years, was more than once I couldn't remember my name when the emergency room doctors asked me - and how tough is it to remember Ronald Macdonald???

    But a few of the demented cells can still line up enough to fire in sequence... I haven't overlooked the accessories...since catching this addiction I've added two pair of black leather boots, at least a dozen pair of kilt sox from USAKilts, SportKilts, and Clansman...plus Carhart sox from a local working man's store.

    Freelander just emailed that my two sporran's are on the way. Picked up a Macdonald tartan sash and flashes to go with my Sportkilt in my clan colors. Got an extra tan "sporran" from AmeriKilts and from Pittsburgh Kilts so I can do the contrasting color look. And a wide belt from AK...And I don't know how many kilt manufacturers t shirts and tank tops...and hangers...jeez have I been buying hangers...

    Still looking for leather sporran straps. Not sure I'd be okay with one of those sock knives whose name I can't spell right now...When boozing I tended to want to stick knives in people I'm angry with and I'm too old to do well in prison now...

    If this addiction were quicksand I'd be under it breathing through a reed, but with a smile on my face.
