    quickie review

    I love the kilt I received from Houston Kilts in Scotland. However it has what Ken from Houston calls a 'kicking pleat' so he said to just send it back and they'll fix it no probs in a few days. Houston has been very customer friendly/helpful from the getgo and I'll definitely be buying from them again - when this wretched economy picks up that is.

    Right now the Pound is worth $1.76 pretty good compared to over $2 just a little time ago.

    Look for a pic later today but suffice to say it's a pleat that turns out (curves out) away from the kilt. Ken said the first couple of pleats need adjusting at the waistband.

    If it had been properly made in the first place it would not need to be sent back

    McMurdo: Ken said a few days. Nothing happening in Nov. so I'll send it back then. If I get it back early Dec I'll be happy.
