Oh no, I did it.....the tank

**denmcdough** · 23rd December 09, 09:38 AM

OK, I bad!!! I finally sent a check to Wallace Catanach for the purchase of a new kilt, in MacDonagh tartan. The material ~ heavy weight ~ will be woven, since it's a rare tartan, by D.C. Dalgliesh. It will take up to 10 weeks. Oh, can I survive that long????

Needless to say, I'm excited for the tank to arrive. I WILL be posting it upon its arrival, so please stay tuned kiddos.

Wallace, has gotten nothing bout great reviews, so I decided to go with an up and coming kilt maker. His communications with me, via email, have been superb.

Oh, I think I just bought myself a Christmas present!?

It's a terrible thing, the waiting. Many men here have consoled themselves by buying the odd sporran, or pair of hose, or sgian dubh, or Argyle, or kilt belt, or, or, or...

My congratulations and commiserations.

So, I'm not the only one who has done that? Sweet!

You will be very happy and wonder why you waited so long.
Can't wait to see it

It'll be worth the wait.

I am sure you wI'll be very pleased... a tank is so much better than everything else.. Enjoy your jones and buy the accessories to console yourself... makes the wait much easier, and when you get the kilt, you have what you need for it to look absolutely smashing... and please, keep us abreast of it all..

Oh yeah you did it alright! Good for you. In looking at your previous posts I'd say you're fairly advanced in our addiction and at such an early point! Now you experience the bittersweetness of a true Tank Jones!
