    As the "DEALER", I don't HAVE to discount an addictive product.

    When Ron said he wanted to do a comparison of the SK vs. USAK Casual, I offered to sell him a Casual at a "one time only" small discount in the interest of science (so everyone could read his comparison on XMARKS).

    I knew this discount would bait him enough and he'd get hooked. Since then, he's ordered 1 batch of 3 and another batch of 4 casuals. His addiction is growing... my evil plan worked. hoo haha

    People take such advantage....Robert sent me leather swatches, KNOWING, I'd be hooked on the smell and feel and look of them. Sure enough...I own a leather RKilt.

    Rocky's not admitting that he sent some swatches too...my idea to get past the limits of my monitor...but I'm sure he knew the swatches would soon grow into full kilts.

    We addicts are sooooo vulnerable!

    I asked SportKilt for a swatch of the California tartan...did Seamus send one swatch? Noooooo. I got a stack of swatches. These people know our weakness.

    And, I doubt it was intentional, but when I ordered I had to remind Rocky his webpage price on 44" hip kilts wasn't quite as high as he was gonna ring me up for. I gotta wonder if he didn't know I was fogged out in that kilt ordering zone we fall into...four at a time....a real high....like a Deadhead taking a stack of acid tabs....

    Coming down from the ordering high to the timeless world of jonesing.

    Kilt Bomb Explosion Day

    They're here!!!

    Four new USA Kilts Casuals. Just when I was wondering what to wear to work this week - the first week of my second year kilted full time.

    I like the Ramsay's deep blue and the green and red of the Prince of Wales best...but the other two, Douglas modern and Scottish National are great too.

    So fiddling with the Gizmo to steam out the shipping wrinkles and mounting the kilt pins for these new kilts.

    Life is good.

    Jeez, this makes 3 USA Kilt Semi Trads and 8 Casuals with two special order tartan casuals on order.

    Perfect timing for the hot humid monsoon weather around here.

    Thanks Rocky and Kelly.

    May be a while for pics since I'm back to work tomorrow.
