    I'm afraid that report is over eight years old, Tommy! Howie was making pockets for mobile phones, etc. in his '21st Century Kilts' some time before that article was published - it wasn't exactly hot news then.

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Aye Ham
    I thought the price was somewhat exaggerated, however I would say that perhaps the reporter has done that, as you know reporters seem to never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

    I think though the point is that it seems a bit crazy that a pub would ban someone for wearing the kilt, when you see the photo I think he looks fine, save for the fact that he is wearing brown boots with a black belt and sporran.
