    Thumbs up It's here!! It's here!! It's here!!

    Rocky and USA Kilts are AWESOME!!!!!

    ROCKY!! ROCKY!!! ROCKY!!!! (did the Eye of the Tiger just start in anyone elses head?)



    Anyway, the Jones Monster has been Slain!! Well, maybe not slain, but at the very least, chased back into his lair until the next wanna/needa/gotta-have it comes along

    First off, let me say that the USPS Tracking information system just sucks, at least as refers to updates. It's been displaying the "We have been notified to expect a pick up" message since Aug 19th, and didn't change the message until it was delivered today, on the 22nd. However, it's here, so all is forgiven

    First off, the items received from USA Kilts today:




    Secondly, the Proud owner, displaying the sett with an apron shot:



    Thirdly, showing off the pleats to the rear:



    and lastly, the obligatory, leg raised pleat shot:



    Happy times in Carolina this evening!!

    Will post more later, going to do my own little happy dance!!

    EDIT>> Hmm, the pictures are a little big, but I'm not sure how to modify them. Hope they're ok.....

    Yay!! Don't you just love getting packages (especially when they have kilts in them)???? I've found those tracking messages to be very slow and useless as well... ah well. It's fun to watch them when you're going nuts.

    Lovely tartan! Enjoy, and thanks for sharing with us!

    Congratulations you might want to think about a leather sporran strap as the chains tend to wear through tartan.

    Glad the pics are big. Sometimes reducing them in such a busy tartan will cause loss of quality in the look of the tartan lines.

    That Clark/Clergy is a busy tartan for sure. Almost looks three dimensional, like the darker lines are behind the white lines of the tartan.

    So I haven't been on for awhile because I was busy with so much other stuff. This is the first thread that I have entered this whole time. Since my last time on I have quite my job and am now looking for another. I really really want a new job soon, because after looking at these pics I really really want a USA Kilt! ARGH! You are too mean to me! But none-the-less very nice.
