I will get a picture of my 8 yard Bear kilt up as soon as I can. It is a GREAT example of why true craftsmanship takes more than a week. I have yet to see a Bear kilt made to measure that had any signs of a wondering pleat. Fro example check out Andrew's (thanks for being the guinea pig, buddy) pics from Bear's site http://www.bearkilts.com/coppingpg.html

Perfect pleating, and no sign of the "wandering pleat"

Great post Jimmy, I wondered when we would all stop kissing each other's butts and start being objective about where/who we all buy our kilts from, regardless of personal relationships.

I will only buy my poly/viscose kilts from Bear. why? because he and I are friends.......NO! It's beacuse he provides the best quality product in that material, and he gives his all to making each kilt that he sells. He is basing his selling on the quality of his product, not on the delivery time of his product. I have been victim to the 3 month wait, and the minute that I get that kilt on, I forget all about that long wait. I have the patience to wait for quality, and I will.
