    For what it's worth, I share your pain. I ordered a denim kilt from UK in June, and it will probably be too big for me by the time I get it

    I know that Utilikilt is going through some growing pains right now. The owner of the building where they have their shop is kicking them out at the end of August with plans to tear the place down and redevelop. UK is looking at several new locations and will probably end up in downtown Seattle, which will make it easier to get to and bring in a lot of people off the streets. Apparently they've recently hired several new sewers to (hopefully) keep up with demand, and getting them trained has resulted in QC issues and inventory snafus.

    I really hope they can get these things worked out, and soon: I would hate to see UK fold because they were more successful than they could handle.

    I seriously doubt that...but they may lose some business because they can't keep folks happy.

    It's good that UK has high QC standards. Yet waiting extra time due to QC problems is extremely frustrating

    When I got my survival UK in March, I was really torn between waiting 8 weeks (or more) for getting one in Basil the color I really, really like or walking out with one tan.
    I walked out with the Tan one I couldn't wait :rolleyes:

    TB, I would call UK and see what they have in stock in your size. From what I seen in my size (36-37 M), they have lots of originals and mockers in stock...think one in each color; a few workmans and survivals.

    Cheers
