Make them stop!

Enough! Enough, you two. I thought you were both kiltmakers, but it seems you might be comedians. If you ARE the former, I'd like to suggest you get back to doing what you are good at, and leave the funny stuff to those of us who cannot make kilts!!

So I just got finished talking to Robert at R-Kilts. We've worked out a trade... I've been eyeing up his "Distressed brown" leather color. Well, I finally got my order in. He's been eyeing up theTweed Kilt and Vest, so I'll be making him one of them. So it's been a few hours and I'm already wondering if he's gotten the leather yet (even though he TOLD me he wasn't getting it until Monday). .....................................

Coincidentally Rocky, I too was speaking with Robert a few hours ago - in fact I think he almost ran off the road when he heard who it was calling!
He told me that he is getting the leather for MY new kilt (Bronze leather) next week also - it'll be interesting to see who receives their finished garment first. Although I am not in a position to trade, I AM getting a personal delivery to my door by Robert himself. Now That IS service, and is more important to me than speedy delivery!!

That's alright.... I'll just write a scathing review of his customer service. HAHAHAA

In all honesty... I am a pain in the @$$ customer and I know it. I wanted my pleats a certain size, my pockets a certain way, custom leather straps, wider buckles / straps, take this off, add that to there, etc... I would have told me to find another kiltmaker if I was Robert.

Instead... he took it all in stride and told me the things he COULD accomidate and the (few) things that he COULDN'T do. After all the designing was said and done, it will TRULY be a custom garment. Again, Robert... thanks for putting up with my requests.

Rocky has been super patient. This has been in the works for a number of months. Given that, our companies have very few employees (meaning Rocky and Kelly, and I work alone). Plus the fact that we work very long hours to get our products done. So at times, a couple of weeks would pass before I could work out the requests that, that pain in the keister, wanted. It has been a challenge at times to work out details. For myself choosing a style of kilt, colour. I was taken with the tweed, I liked the looks and felt that I would feel very comfortable with this ensemble.
I'm very much looking forward to the day I receive my new kilt and vest.
I thank you Rocky and of course Kelly, who I think I owe a box of chocolates.

Kelly, who I think I owe a box of chocolates.

Don't send the chocolates with the two faced delivery man. He will turn his interface to the back of the truck and eat the goods.

Ham, having met both in person recently, I think that they are both, although I think that they should both stick to kiltmaking, seems to be their stronger talent!

...He told me that he is getting the leather for MY new kilt (Bronze leather) next week also...

[Swoon], the bronze leather is gorgeous. A worthy addition to your stable Ham.

Well I still keep my Actor's Equity Card up to date, in fact, I'm multi tasking. I'm on council for Equity and I have a meeting in Toronto and it's close to one of my Leather suppliers. So I will be deaking out of a meeting to buy Leather...tough job! The aroma of that leather shop is well... you know that box of chocolates that I was going to send to Kelly...need I say more.

Yes here I was on my way to the post, to drop off a kilt for an xmarks member and off rings my cell phone in my pocket...and this rich voice is enveloping my ear and it's Hamish or Ham to his friends calling..... And one must give their undivided attention to said person, and the responsible person that I am I finds a place to safely park to facilitate the chat.
Indeed to confirm that I will in person be bearing a bronze leather kilt to the "Ham's "abode on previously agreed upon date.
So where does this put Rocky's kilt? It will be on his tush before I cross the pond.

[Tattoo Bradley]

Competing kilt makers who are jonesing for each others stuff and not afraid to say it. Yet all our kilt makers are like this and justfiably proud of it. Is there any other industries that can say this?

Very cool, indeed.

In this profession, we HAVE to be patient. Not sure how much stuff people buy from overseas, but TRUST me... patience is a virtue, but a bit of kicking and screaming from time to time gets the wheels moving faster on certain suppliers! I just hate waiting for MY OWN PERSONAL stuff.

Glad to know that I'll beat Hamish at least! Not like he doesn't have enough kilts to "tied him over" until Robert hand-delivers this one.
