The Customs story on this one is a little funny.

Mine Just sailed thougth. Sten Runes' was taken by customs.It said On the package $250 dollars I said to Sten Rune that it was $195 that you paid. He told this to the customs and produced the receipt for the kilt.

What "I" forgot was $195 American is about $250 Canadian. The Customs then Calculated the duty to $195 CAD so the price they came up with was a lot less, and under the magic 1000Kr mark they have for handling charge.Of course the duty was under 100Kr extra.
All in all he paid Just an extra Kr400.I had calculated around another 600Kr. So we got it a lot cheaper than we first thought

Hah! Nice work on the Customs deal! I always write the Canadian price on the sticker.

Tell Sten Rune to watch out! Good looking guy like that walking around in a kilt could be trouble.
I look like a troll and got propositioned twice last week. Sten Rune should carry a stick.

BTW, I'm going to try to get a bit of time tomorrow to make you guys those flashes you asked about.

That sounds really Great Bear

It will be the perfect finisher for two 1st Class kilts.

We'll send you some pic's with us togher when the weather improves

It is hard to figure out just what is going to happen when Customs is involved. I am glad that this story had a good ending!

Sharp looking kilt.

The Vikings left so much DNA in Scotland its nice to see the Scot culture back in Vikingland.

and how does it hold the pleats? my worsted wool kilt is really as stiff as metal whereas my cheap mixed fibres kilt has much softer fabric.
i mind about buying this one :
