ESPECIALLY when the customer's checks don't bounce!

ANY kiltmaker out there would have been MORE than happy to take the designs and measurements and do the job. When there's that much money and notoriety in a project... you do what is asked for.

After the "kilts" are sent, then you can get back up on the horse and do what you want with your offerings.

I can't imaging that Piper ever using that kilt again after the Madonna gigs... unless it's altered.
