    Alan - do you have a good source for camo material in a suitable weight for X-Marks kilts? I can only find lightweight material in the NC boonies.

    There may be a word in Spanish for kilt, but its not in my thickest Spanish dictionary. They just use the word falda, which is skirt...they toss in a second word, escocesa, which is a Scotswoman.

    So hey, maybe the language tools just aren't there for them to grasp.

    Try maybe, "Falda para Escoce's" which would be kinda "skirt for Scotsmen."

    And if they won't break their sterotypes, maybe you can ask them if they want the camo kilt trimmed out like a mariachi or a bullfighter outfit...

    Have you guys got a Hancock Fabric store down that way? I've found lots of good poly-cotton at our local store.
