Maybe the slippers... I used that code for shipping, and actually purchased something. Never seen that site before. I absolutely LOVE surplus stuff. Dunno why.

I wonder how many people actually tried to get those items.

[mikemedic999]

They dont have any of the kilt in.......so im told anyway...

5.11 will be offering this item for real and should have it available soon. Apparantly, the demand was so overwhelming they decided to actually sell it.

Awesome!

If Braveheart would have had one of those kilts, he might have won against the English...

FYI, if you are a member of the NAEMT (National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians), and log in to 5-11 via the NAEMT website, perhaps not the kilt, but there are some items one can purchase for less than the "regular" customers.

I do mention that one should never, in earshot of one wearing a kilt, call it a dress, for then the kilt wearer will cause you to be "kilt"!

Anyway, they don't special order it in my choice of tartans.

It would be funny if everyone who told 5.11 that they wanted one would respond with "April Fool" once they're informed that the Kilt is available and in stock. Question is, will people wear them in the "regimental" fashion.

Edit to use the appropriate phrasology.

Question is, will people wearing them be properly "attired"

Only if the agency allows kilts as alternate uniform. Otherwise, what one wears while off-duty USUALLY is none of my concern.

Damn you Richard. Between your suggestion and my total lack of self control when it comes to freebies with purchase... the free Stainless steel 5.11 water bottle and a clearance fleece blanket are on order...
