Ugh, the wait for a custom kilt!

[rangepig]

At the risk of sounding like an impatient American, the wait for my custom kilt is getting ridiculous!

I was measured for a bespoke kilt at Chisholm’s in Inverness on Sept. 15. Their website said it takes 6-8 weeks, which is no big deal. They told me when I was there it would be 8 weeks (middle of November) because they were getting busy. As we got closer to 8 weeks they said it would be delayed 2 weeks, making it 10 total. As we’re just past the 10 week mark I contacted them yesterday to see when they’d be shipping and when I needed to pay the other half of the total. They told me it was going to be ANOTHER 2 weeks delayed, making it 12. They apologized and said it would be shipping Dec. 12.

If Chisholm’s didn’t have such a great reputation I would be worried, but waiting 50% longer than I was originally told is a little annoying.

Just venting my frustration I guess...
