Thank you Tom for your knowledge on the products you were selling. I had go vibes before walking into the store, but better vibes when I walked into the store. The best vibes came when I talk to Tom.
I enjoyed learning something about the first kilt I ever owned. I learned I could aquire buckle extenders for my kilt that no longer fits me. Yes, married men tend to get a little pudgy as they get older. I am doing my best to control this tread so belly and butt don't get out of control.
Back on track,
I talked to Tom about acquiring a utility kilt or cargo kilt. Something I thought would be very beneficial when acquiring my first traditional kilt. My first kilt is made out of wool and is for everyday use. My second kilt is for formal dining or settings. Both of these kilts need Sporran to hold your personal belongings. Now for those of you who don't know about Sporrans, they can be very basic to very fancy. All of them if not properly secured can back and attack your manhood. This goes doubly so for guys that go True Scotsman way. Some women who have worn a Sporran might have experienced this Nunchaku like experience. If I lost you, I will explain
"The nunchaku is a traditional Okinawan martial arts weapon consisting of two sticks, connected to each other at their ends by a short metal chain or a rope. It takes lots of practice and respect to use this weapon. The moment you do don't show respect for this weapon, you will be smacked by the very weapon you were holding.
The True Scotsman way is very liberating I might say, but there are others who find it "Childish and Unhygienic." I once wore my kilt after the Scottish Games to nail salon. The lady or ladies working on me or near me had this smile on their faces. The woman giving me the pedicure obversly knew what she was doing to get a better view.
I am digressing again...
Tom informed me this shop tried selling the cargo kilts, but they were not big sellers at the time. The fact that cargo kilts generally are not traditional kilts and don't tend to be clan affiliated, I can see why the cargo kilts didn't sell well.
Nevertheless, my next and only kilt will be a cargo style kilt. It will either be all black, heather grey or two tone of black and purple.
Tom told me of a fragrance they sold (name escapes me right now) and it smells delightful. It comes in a big bottle, which you should not try to take through the airport or it will be confiscated 99% of the time. I think my wife and I will be acquiring a bottle or two the next time we are in town.
I liked the Guinness Jerseys did not feel compelled to by one for nearly 100 dollars. I might have if I hadn't already bought a sweater at another store.
My wife and I enjoyed our time at this store and look forward to coming back here again. Tom made this experience here well worth it. read more
