Hey Kid, ain't it a GREAT place to be.

Don't overlook a hand sewn traditional....even in Houston. I'm partial to Kathy's Kilts and also want one from Matt. Maybe out of that new X Marks Tartan if I can figure out how to do it and afford it.

For me, I've found my kilts by first paying attention to the threads and going back in the archives to see which places have a history of problems and avoiding them. Then I browse the websites of the remaining folks and look for "what I like." I figure if I don't like the tartan or the color what's the point. For the contemporary kilts I gotta like the style too.

What's difficult is that its soooo hard to tell on line. At first I never thought I'd like UKs mocker or survival...once I ordered one of each they became favorites.

Have to also pay attention to the size of the tartan pattern. I have two Sportkilts too, wouldn't buy a fancy kilt with so small of a pattern.

Don't forget you can create your own designs too with Jeff. He's done some great custom work.
