    The jones begins

    I just ordered my first made-to-measure kilt. It's a Maclachlan Hunting tartan. Because of his other workload, the kiltmaker set my expectation of it being ready around the end of February.

    The two-month jones begins now.

    Yes, but it's so worth the wait.

    So you'll be kilted by the Celtic Fest in Chicago that used to be in September but is now held around Mothers' Day?

    I'd have been kilted anyway
    This is just my first made to measure kilt. Hey, I hope we have a kilt night at Duke of Perth before then.

    I'm getting one of those too.
    My son's getting one too.
    February is my busiest and worst time of year at work.
    Now I have two reasons to look forward to its end.

    Wouldn't that make one heck of a great kilt night? A bunch of guys all wearing the same tartan?

    It's almost as bad as waiting for a new car.

    2 months? That's not a bad wait time at all! It'll be gone before you know it. (I say that as I'm waiting to do my taxes so I can have that same jones....)
