    The Flesh is Weak

    I just bought 3 meters of Black Stewart polyviscose for cheap off of ebay. Heck, the shipping is half again more than the cost of the fabric...$33 for three meters of it.

    It's warmed up a lot here, so I think I'll bang out a quick casual kilt in Black Stewart for these hotter days. I'll pleat it to sett, so after this one and the next one, I'll be a bleedin' expert. Right.....

    Right, tell Me I'm not crazy. **eyeroll** I NEED another lightweight kilt for summer, right?

    You always need another lightweight kilt for the summer. Can you really find a situation where you wouldn't need another kilt?

    And look at it this way, it is more experience before tackling the XMarks tartan!

    And for @ $45 for material, who really cares if you don't do it this year and wait until next?

    Cool ! another Clan Ebay kilt !!!

    I about busted up when you said that the other night.
    If you don't think you need another lightweighter for summer (say maybe Pleasanton ...) I think a Cali from you-know-where would do it but I'll give you all a review on it as soon as I can.

    Of course you do! Everyone needs another lightweight casual kilt. Actually that's all I have so far. I need a tank myself.
    [FONT=Trebuchet MS][I][COLOR=Navy]Madame, rarely will you meet a more prejudiced man nor one who tells himself he keeps his mind more open. But cannot that be because one part of our mind, that which we act with, becomes prejudiced through experience and still we keep another part completly open to observe and judge with?[/COLOR][/I]

    DARNIT....He mis-measured or messed up on the ad itself. He only has 1.3 meters of Black Stewart, not 3 meters. Drattittall. So I'm getting a refund.

    Oh,well, so now I'll get going on the gray wool/poly tartan from F&K.
