My turn to Jones now
I ordered a Muted MacDonald of Glencoe from ScottishKilts.net about 6-7 weeks ago, in anticipation of wearing it on Feb 13, to honor the fallen on the anniversary of the Massacre of Glencoe. I chose the HoE Muted in 13 oz Rare and Select over the Modern from Dalgleish in 16 oz as the colors seemed more vivid in the muted (I know that sounds backwards) but the reds and blues were too dark in the Dalgleish for my desires. Just got word that it was shipped yesterday Parcelforce and should arrive in about 5-6 days. Nothing like cutting it close (I had asked for it to be delivered by yesterday).
Now the jones is really starting to hit, as I have been anticipating its arrival for several weeks. Photos will be forthcoming.

I really really like the HoE MacDonald of Glencoe. That one has been on my wishlist for quite sometime. I look forward to seeing the pictures.

Wonderful choice of tartan, I too look forward to the photos, congratulations in advance.

I too feel your pain. I recently took my place in the Matt Newsome queue.

Checking the tracking site 3 times already today---feel like a little kid anxiously checking the mailbox for the sea monkeys he ordered of the back of a comic book. Cheesh, is this really adult behavior?

Jones is not a nice guy. I don't like 'im. 
Oh, and we need pics when you get the new kilt. Of course you knew that already...

Jonesing Artists
I got a tracking number from my kiltmaker, checked it three times today....On the third check, I see, at the bottom in teeny tiny type "Status is updated once daily in the late evening." Doesn't help us Jones artists.
