    Raphael found a military box pleated MacDonald kilt that was in fair shape at a thrift store. It was 28" at the top but the top was up at the armpits! He gave it to me, so I chopped 6"-8' off the top and voila! It happens to fit me perfectly! I had to re-attach the buckles, cut a hole for the left side buckle, stitch down the pleats a few more inches, and replace the lining, but it's a nice traditional kilt that I can wear with my Argyle jacket to formal events. (Still haven't been to a formal event since I started kilting.)
    And my high school sweetheart, my first love, was a MacDonald. Serendipity!

    [QUOTE=norfair86;508730] I ask him how much, and he says $10 each! I threw a twenty at him and thanked him for stopping me, and now I'm two kilts richer!


    Crikey! With that kind of luck, you should be sitting at a Vegas Crap table this very moment!

    Whoa, talk about being in the right place at the right time. He either didn't realize what he had, or was in a very generous mood. I'm gonna have to start checking out the flea markets.

    I just moved from Vegas, but I never had such luck there!
