SWK, resistance is futile

Well, all righty then.

I broke down.

I did it.

Let me lay out for you the current situation---I've been wearing my USAK 13 ounce wool 5-yard leatherneck, my Newsome 16 ounce wool 4 yard leatherneck, my Newsome tweed, and my USAK casual lately. I haven't bought a SWK in a while, in fact, I've sold off a couple of my heavyweights (sigh---the saffron and black shadow tartans are gone baby gone, as is the weathered Lamont . . . ).

But I couldn't resist.

I had the sudden urge, the thrifty-kilts were just sitting there, and everyone knows about Jerry's delivery schedule (right?).

Got a Buchanan thrifty on the way, gents!

Please post a review when you can. I've been thinking about ordering one myself.

I haven't been on their site for a while and I noticed this:

"We also offer our standard kilts in custom waist and length, in any of our stock tartans, pleated to the sett or stripe.

A surcharge will apply, and delivery time could be a month or two, subject to our production schedule. Please contact us for details."

That ought to please Ron. He always wanted custom length.

I have a thrifty in Black Watch, and it's a great jeans kilt, and a great value for the price... but it doesn't hold a candle to the Standard.

That's big news, but I can't find it on the site. Could you post a link?

Best regards,
