The real problem here is that I'm not a real tailor. I'm just a guy that makes skirts for other guys. And it was supposed to be a little retirement business.
Now I've got a shop, and employees, and customers (OH let me tell you about the customers. This would be a great business if it weren't for those customers.)

I've never made a quality custom made sport coat before. I know I would like to. but there is almost as much finicky work in a sport coat as there is in a kilt.

And I don't have enough time in the day to make all the kilts on the order board.

I've never been the kind of guy who cuts out steps or makes something cheaper just to make it easier on myself. I KNOW, in my head, how I want my kilts to look and feel and swish. I also KNOW, in that same small, crowded and aged head, how I want a kilt jacket to look and feel.

Now I just need to figure out how to actually make the darn thing. But hey, I'm an Engineer. IT WILL COME!!!

And the way things go it will probably be about a week after some smart boy takes my idea and gets their crews in Pakistan to make them for $100.00.

NO, that is not a jab at anyone. Just the facts of business.
