A word of explaination

[The Wizard of BC]

I posted a photo in my gallery. It seems it has shown up on the home page.
I'm sorry to all who thought it might be something interesting.
I posted it along with a PM to Hank so he could see how I used the X marks logo. I had alot of questions during the show about where people could learn more about kilts, so I made up a sign and some cards in the blue X Marks pattern to hand out. I thought I'd get more people to come here.
I then thought better of what I had done and PM'd Hank to get a ruling on whether I had done something wrong.
I know how protective people need to be about Logos.
Hank was very gracious and said it was OK.
Again, Sorry to all.

Hi Steve,

I don't think you have to worry about using the X logo--haven't you seen the Xmarksthescot Propaganda Stickers? I'm planning to put one on my truck.

Nice display, BTW. Are those extra kilts for sale, or your own kilts that you have there as demos? I'd love to find the time to make eight extra kilts! Every time I get caught up on orders, though, I decide to make a new kilt for ME! 8)

You should take your kilt form along with you, and display one kilt in 3-D. I think they look a lot more impressive that way than just on hangers. Might bring in some people who might not have stopped otherwise. Just my thoughts!

Hey Steve, nice looking booth. I agree with Jeff. I've been to more trade shows over the years than I care to remember...I'd recommend having a kilt loose, just there, so people can pick it up, handle it, look at the inside and the outside, take away the mystery.

And maybe think about investing in a Polaroid camera so that folks who aren't sure yet can at least have a pic of them wrapped in a kilt to show friends or have as a financial goal.

Or maybe hire a pretty girl to help "fit" the guys...or are you beyond me already...?

You make a quality kilt, you're gonna do well as the word get out.

Thanks Jeff and Ron

The kilt on the kilt form was just inside the entrance.
The organizers of the show were kind and let me put a display up where everyone saw it walking in.

All the Kilts on display out front of the booth were for touchy-feely by people walking by.

I have four kilts which turned out to be the wrong size due to customers mis-measuring and I need to sell them. The others are mine. Kinda pre-production prototypes. All look real good, but are all the same size,

No luck yet finding a tall, leggy blond to help out in the booth. The wife frowns on it. She won't even let me hire a seamstress that fills out a Hooters T-shirt. Strange how women are.

I'm now well into the first of the year on oders. I've got a bum hand due to an 'accident' with an sharp knife. Boy due stiches in the hand make it hard to sew stiches in pleats.
Plus customers don't seem to like blood on their kilts.

[Riverkilt]

Disagree. I think blood stains add character to most any camo pattern kilt

And, hope your wife is helping disrobe prospects for fittings...from what I read of Kate's adventures over on the UK board there's a bit of an art to it...sort of the old "assumptive close."

If this is any indication of his rep, I had another kiltmaker recommend his stuff to me when I enquired about solid color kilts.

All of the kilt makers continue to amaze me. I've said this before, but, in what other industry would you find competing manufacturers reccomending a competitors products.
