Thank you for all of your well wishes, condolences and suggestions. This was actually a good thing wrapped up in a bad.
1. I didn't ruin an expensive wool kilt.
2. I didn't get hurt.
3. The story has girls and beer.
4. I wore the "Rat Kilt" that wouldn't die yesterday and had a great day doing things I would never have done in it before.
5. I finally reached that kilt wearing zen moment when you no longer are conscious of your garmet. I have become desensitized and I owe a lot of it to the group.
6. Now, I understand why people love their canvas and work kilts. It's the same reason jeans are popular; put them on an forget them.
7. It encouraged me to get canvas yesterday to make a canvas traditional 5 yd kilt (maybe a hidden pocket). I never would have considered this until now because I always went with the traditional plaid. Now I need to find all those posts about making my own canvas kilt.
