Hi Guys and Girls,

A decision has been made on my kilted future, and unfortunately it didn't turn out as I had hoped. As of yesterday I am giving up on kilts all together. Before any of you go flying off the handle please let me explain.

My wife is very opposed to kilts, she said they look like Catholic school girls. I don't agree, and I know all of you don't agree either. But the fact is that causing a rift in a 25 year marriage isn't worth wearing a kilt. I will never give up my desire for kilts, I just have to admire them from a distance now, and hope that possibly someday she might change her mind. I hope those of you in a relationship will understand and support my decision.

I'm going to miss the camaraderie of this group, I know your are a great bunch of guys and gals. The support and encouragement you show each other could be a model for many aspects of life.

To Hank, thanks for providing this forum and the friendships that are a result.
To all the kilt makers, keep producing the quality products that you have such a passion for.
To Jimmy, good luck with Barley Juice, and thanks for sharing your expertise with everyone.
To Hamish, thanks for being the great ambassador of the kilt that you are.
To Todd and Matt, thanks for bringing a wealth of knowledge to the forum and being so well spoken and considerate of everyone.
To Rufus, Good luck in your studies and future career.
To Graham, may God bless you and your family as you serve Him.

I'm sorry I can't mention everybody, but you all know who you are. Thanks to everyone.

OK, now to the next item. I have two kilts that are up for grabs.
I have a Sport Kilt in the St. Paddy tartan, size large. Plus an extra patch and two stickers.
I also have a Get Shirty kilt in the Campbell tartan, size 38. It 100% acrylic.

If anyone would be interested in these kilts, all I'm asking is 10-15 bucks for shipping and they can be yours. They'll be good for lounging around the house, or any place you wouldn't take you expensive kilts.

I'll be checking the board for a few more days. Thanks again for your friendships.
