had to buy kilt I don't like

[OC Richard]

I had to pay the downpayment. Hopefully the band will pick up part or all of the cost eventually, and it will become just one of the band's kilts.

Actually with the last band I played in I ended up buying my own kilt, because I really didn't like the fit of the kilt they gave me (too big in the waist and too short). It was a tartan I really like, so much so that I ended up getting matching full tartan hose made.
