    Jonesing is going to kill me!

    forgot to post this last week. I ordered an 8-yard hand-sewn MacTavish kilt from House of Celts last week. The kilt is being made by House of Edgar in Scotland. I'll post pics and a review when it gets here!

    this is my first REAL kilt, and I'm going nuts waiting for it!

    I know you can fight. But it's our wits that make us men.

    It's tough at the beginning and esp. the end. I usually manage to forget for the few weeks in the middle. The quickest I've ever had a traditional handsewn done was 6 weeks... the longest 12 weeks.
    But all said and done, each and every one was absolutely worth the wait. Yours, no doubt, will be too.

    Well you could sit back, pore yourself some scotch, listen to some good bagpipe music, and... wait a sec that will just make things worse.
