    After Getting A Roll, I Was Ready to Eat Crow

    OK, ok. The Kilter Roll (KR) works! I bought one from STM. It's easy to roll the kilt up and the KR tucks nicely into my large suitcase without taking up too much room. I'll be using it for my July trip to Scotland. Now, where's the German mustard?

    Be sure to let us know how it does traveling. I'd be interested in one of those as well.

    The Kilter Roll is great! I'm still pretty new to kilts so I was wondering how to go about traveling with them. Other than leaving them on the hanger and swinging on the hook in my back window.

    My fathers side is German...so I'm with you on the mustard. Yummy.
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

    I've been looking at that myself. I'm keen to hear the traveling review as well.

    I will tell when I get back. But, as a test, I rolled up my MacGregor kilt and kept it in the KR overnight. This evening, it unrolled without any "new" pleats or wrinkles. The case is not bulky, which surprised me, so it tucked away quite nicely in my suitcase.

    American mustard I can't stand, either. But, GERMAN mustard - AUSSGEZEICHNET!! When I get a hamburger at Whataburger, I get it dry and take it home to put the good stuff on. Give it a try!

    I also have The Kilter luggage, which has also been useful. The KR will help me limit my number of luggage pieces for my trip to Scotland next month.

    Along the I-10 corridor to the E/NE of San Antonio is the German-Czech communities. There's always a good German restaurant around to get the good stuff!
