I Feel Dumb!!

[J.B. Simpson]

I just realized how stupid I am!!

Not only did I not do a rush on my kilts so they would be here by Tartan Day, I also forgot to order flashes for my Fraser Hunting.

Now I have to figure out what to order to go along with the flashes, and avoid letting my wife find out I am buying more.

I hate when I play stupid, but actually didn't really play.

... and avoid letting my wife find out I am buying more.

I'm only just getting my second kilt but I already know that feeling sooooo well!

[MuffinMan]

I also know how you feel, I bought my first kilts in a month, now Riverkilt has his fat kilts, or is it his skinny kilts on sale.

Good luck, hope it all works out well.

BTW, feeling dumb is an art form... you might try flogging for self-punnishment too.

Can you not just call (you're talking about USAK right?) and add the flashes? I guess I'm no comprende....

I can call and add. How do I avoid injury from the Wife?

I already went from ordering 1 kilt to: 1 semi trad, 1 casual, 2 kilt hose, and 1 pair of flashes.

I guess I will have to either chance bodily harm and order them, or play it safe and not have flashes for a while.

For your hose or from the wife?

For your hose or from the wife?

Either way I won't get flashes! Now I just need to figure out which flashes I can live without!!

The alternative to suffering at the hands of the spouse, might possibly be a visit to ye local fabric shoppe. I suggest SEARCH the D.I.Y. forum for the how to make your own flashes. For very little expenditure, coordinated solid colour flashes can be had. I have used denim and heavy cotton twill. Most of the material has come out of the remnants bin for cheap. a stiffening lining material, some elastic, ( the waistband off of discarded underwear) some velcro, fabric glue, and scissors. If you wish some binding tape needle and thread can finish them off properly. I made four different coloured sets while in jones mode for my USAK American Heritage. I do own three sewing machines. I also have constructed three kilts from scratch thus far. I am not a kiltmaker yet, but am practicing.
Hint--- If ye spouse likes to sew or do crafts things, invite her along to a Joanns or similar venue for both of you to be creative together. She might warm to helping you.

That is a great idea SteveB!! I can live and still get flashes (both kinds sportbilly). See I said I was dumb, I didn't even think of DIY!!!
