Houston needs a kilt shop!
So, I'm working retail in Houston, TX now, and it seems each week I get more positive comments about my kilts, and more ladies telling their gents to get one. Even one lass asking me if I'd make some for her from tartan purchased by her granny twenty years ago!
But there's no place for a hundred miles around to even hire Highland Dress for a wedding!
Four million people and no Scottish shop. Travesty.
Somebody outgha jump on this. I imagine a fairly straightforward Scottish/Irish/English/Downunder gift & knicknack shop with kilt hire and custom order.
Call it, uh, Empirical? Commonwill? Magna Carta? Something clever. Unbifurcated Empire, maybe.
Here's the twist: alongside the tanks, display swatches and order forms from those contemporary (alterna-kilt) makers capable and willing. Samples, even.
Not being the enterprising sort and young and poor to boot, I'll not gather the lucre to make it happen, but I'll work there, no doubt!
How many kilted men does it take to start a shop?
Are ye with me here?
Find power in peace,
