    Hi Ron,
    I am up to 21 Casuals and 2 semis for the same reasons. These MM-PVs take a beating and keep on going.
    I love that I can run them through my front load washer and hang them to dry with...

    Agree. As I post there are 179 users on line of which maybe 10% will post or reply now. The other 90% are just "reading the newspaper" to see what is happening or using the site as an encyclopedia.

    I fear you are correct Jock.
    This is still the only wide spread source of kilt information and opinion. But Facebook now has dozens of kilt/Celtic sites many of which are specialized or vender...

    Photobucket switching over to ransom mode for using links to my archived photos really tossed a wet towel on my enthusiasm for posting what I have done. The text relied heavily on the images to...

    Laudering

    Does anyone actually follow the instruction tag and close and snap all snaps for washing inside out and then tumble dry? Do you have to touch up iron?

    RE: The back apron.
    In use the bad is that the back apron doesn't display that "moving ripple action" of a knife pleat. It breaks it up worse than the Utilkilt Reverse Kinguesse (sp) center pleat....

    I agree Steve, this kilt has loops sized for that narrower belt and not much else. I'm thinking it's a very early version of the little kilt.

    Amazon is suffering from the same issues as eBay now. It's always "buyer beware" with kilts regardless of where they are made.
