    Officially Jonesing for a USAK!

    I finally can officially add myself to the "jonesing" list for a USA Kilt!

    On Saturday, my wife and I visited the shop, and I plunked down the cash for my very own USA Kilt Semi-Traditional in Buccleuch! (A well-timed gift made it possible when I thought I might have to wait a few more months to order.)

    I very much enjoyed talking to Rocky, et al. I had come to the shop expecting to get the Buccleuch, but wanted my wife's agreement (never a bad thing to have from the more stylish one of our pair)... she liked it as well (plus, I wear a lot of greens and browns, so this is a good match for most of my wardrobe).

    Anyway, I am super excited to (eventually) get my first USA Kilt. I could definitely see myself getting some more later if this one lives up to my expectations. I love the craftsmanship I've seen in the shop.

    Anticipated wait is 8-9 weeks (and I think they need to order in the Buccleuch, so it might be a little longer). But worth the wait, I'm sure!

    I just had to share and also to say thanks again to Rocky and Kelly and the rest! Sometime in August (after a July move in 90+ degree weather, always my favorite), the jonesing will end--and the Buccleuch will be in my hands! Can't wait!

    Very cool. I'm sure you'll be thoroughly pleased when it arrives. You'll need to of course take some pictures to show it off when it does.

    Congrats on the new addition!

    Even better when wrapped around you! I love Rocky and Kelley's work. You will not believe how hard it is to take a USAK Semi-Traditional off.

    Can't wait! I want to have an excuse to wear it all the time, or at least very frequently!

    A wise choice. This pic is just the casual...imagine how the semi-trad is gonna swing!
