The UPS guy delivered the package by flashlight about 10 minutes to 8 Thursday night. Everything was fine, except that the vest was a bit snug. My wife said I was going back to the gym anyway, so it'll fit before I need it again!

The dinner was delightful last night. I gave the toast to the Immortal Spirit. A friend took our picture (attached). If you want to use it on your website, feel free. "Leroy & Ferris Delionbach at the St. Andrews Society of Aiken, SC, Burns Night Dinner"

Ferris loves her skirt! We both had a number of compliments on our attire last night. We were the only Skenes in evidence.

Take care. Thank you, again, for your help.

Leroy

I've attached a couple of pictures of the kilt you made for me. It is exceptionally well made, and fits perfect. I had many complements this weekend. Thank you so much for producing such a fine product and getting it to me in time for the weekend.

Kind regards,
John

Hi Ann, I'm a 16 yr old student from Sydney - Australia, and at school we are performing a play named "Highland Fling" for our drama assessment. As this play is based in Scotland, part of our assessment is to find images of Scottish attire, both modern and traditional. As I was searching the net, I came across your website and i was stunned at how gorgeous these kilts look and how much work you must put into making them.

I also read the history of the kilt, and I must thank you for giving me a deeper understanding of how the heritage come about. I also have a Scottish and Irish family background, but never tuly understood why kilts were worn.

I was also wandering, that if you arent too busy to reply, if you could help me with a few things such as;
- what colour tartan is more commonly worn?
- is there any particular way in which the kilt is wrapped around the person?

or just any tips to do with kilts would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Ann, for taking time out of your day to read my email, and thank you for putting such an aspiring website on the internet.
