Plunge Taken!!!

[Cat]

You'll love your USAK! I have a semi-trad and I wear it nearly every day (only kilt currently, but hopefully that'll change soon.) Rocky actually made a point to write a short note on the invoice that Kelly made the entire thing, and I'm extremely pleased. Kelly does great work, as does Rocky, and I think if you compared a USAK side-by-side with your other choices, you'd be happy with your decision (not meant to knock any of the other kilt businesses here, but a custom-made kilt is generally always going to be better than an off-the-peg, especially in fit. Although the SportKilts I've seen have been pretty nice.)

I actually couldn't wait the 6-8 weeks for mine, so I paid the extra $25 to put a rush on it (not sure if USAK offers that on their package deals), and was glad I did...even though two weeks was still seemed like a long time (I have no patience when it comes to ordering stuff!)

You'll be very pleased with the kilt...and I can guarantee everyone else here with a USAK will say the same!

BTW, what tartan did you end up choosing?

Hehe, I may have to end up calling back and seeing if I can pay the $25 to get it faster, but I'm going to try and curb my impatience, at least for a little while.

I've ordered the Casual in the Clark Tartan, as I'm a Clarke. I've actually been thinking about the different tartans, and instead of getting a variety, I think I'm going to stick to the Clarks, and see what kind of variations I can find on it to acquire as financial ability permits. I see a lot of the different clans have their tartans in things like Ancient, Modern, Hunting, etc., and I'm wondering if I can find those things and more in the Clark tartan.

Gah! The first kilt isn't even here yet, and I'm already trying to think up ways to convince the better half that I need more. It's almost kind of a sickness isn't it?

Oh yeah! Deep breaths, happy thoughts..... oh who am I kidding? Better start saving all your spare change for the inevitable next purchase. BTW congrats on your first kilt.

You made an excellent choice. Rocky and Kelly have nothing but a stellar reputation (as I can personally attest) and the USA Casual is a VERY versatile kilt.

Congratulations!

Yes sir, it is. There is no turning back.

Check out Scotweb. There are indeed several variations on the Clarke/Clergy tartan. I have 2 myself- one ancient and one modern.

Ah well, seems my impatience got the better of me again I've called and spoken with Kelly again, and added the $25 'Rush' fee, and now I'll get my first kilt in approximately 2 weeks, instead of 6-8 weeks

Jonesin bad for it!!
