    Unhappy The next 6 months will be the longest EVER

    I decided to bite the bullet and purchase a Matt Newsome 4 yard box pleated kilt, so any tips on how to make the time go faster??? I was thinking cryogenic freezing, but I doubt my job would give me the leave of absence for that.

    While your waiting, buy some fabric and make your own kilt. Six months from now you might have a dozen new ones to go with the one Matt makes you.

    I have a fever, and the only prescription is MORE KILT

    Actually, right now it's closer to a four month wait. I've been trying to get the wait time down for a while. Right now I'm workin on kilts ordered in early October.

    Glad to hear you are still behind, Matt.

    The time will pass quickly enough, and Matt's work is worth the wait.

    Well I have a job, house, and don't desire a baby so those options are out. At times I barely have a grasp on the English lanque so that won't work. Finally, I'm not allowed around scissors anymore, so making a kilt is out of the question lol Great suggestions thought....

    Sweet! Only 4 months? That is awesome news! Thanks for the heads up Matt! As I said in my initial email to you, I've heard great things about your work, and so I decided to purchase from you.
