You know the extra expense of the kilts at my local shop is still more expensive than what I have paid in price, duty and shipping, but the hassle is more of a pain than anything else. The cdn dollar isn't doing too badly as of late so that wasn't the issue.

My wife set this one up for me as a suprise, I had been researching a 5 yard from www.westcoastkilts.com at the same time. My distaste for this exchange will likely only get worse when I see the new kilt Big Mikey is picking up from Rob later this month
