As a result, I did some hunting around and managed to find a very special tailor in Tokyo. He told me that he could make me a kilt, the likes of which no one has ever seen! It would be made of such a thin, revolutionary fabric, that was so light that to the untrained eye it might look completely invisible -- almost like wearing nothing at all!
So after paying him an ungodly sum of money and waiting the longest time, I finally went to collect my new kilt, and I must say I was impressed! The tailor told me that it turned out better than expected and that he would wrap the kilt around me himself because I would not be used to dealing with such a light fabric. So he did, and true to his word, if you didn't know you were wearing it, you might think you were nude.
Well, going home I could see the evidence of the tailor's master craftsmanship by the way people stared at my awesome new kilt. When I finally got home, I removed the kilt and put it into a drawer. Or at least I thought I did... When I tried to take it out to wear it again a few days ago it was gone... I'll talk to my wife -- I'm sure she probably just took it to the cleaners or something.
It was just wrinkled.
