Well, now I've done it.

Well, I can't say enough good things about Stillwater kilts. Very friendly, very fast (it shipped in less than 24 hours). Answered all of my newbie questions quickly and with patience.

What i can say is really nasty things about The US postal Service, Canada Post and Canada Customs.

Stillwater is in Minneapolis. Minneapolis is about an 8 hour drive from my house. The kilt was picked up and shipped to Chicago Illinois. Then it was shipped to Toronto Ontario. It has been sitting in customs since Sunday.Why? Because they are busy. Well, no Sh*t!! Toronto is the busiest place in Canada. Why they didn't ship it directly to Winnipeg and have it go through customs here is beyond me.

So, it is looking like two weeks to get my kilt 500 miles. That is 35 miles a day. I could have taken a bicycle down there and picked it up myself in that time.

For my American cousins, this is like living in Denver, and having your kilt sit in a warehouse in New York.

We'd take up a collection for you but we've all...

(select all that apply:
a) just bought a tank, two daywear jackets and and a PC from Scotweb,
b) logged on, meant to buy one SWK, but somehow ended up with three,
c) went to order some handknit hose cuffs via Matt Newsome and discovered that box pleat kilts are amazing and suddenly NEED one,
d) had a spell cast on us by the Wizard of BC's website and have started sending money, even though we haven't ordered anything (yet!),
e) realized that our USAK Black Stewart is lonely and needs company...NOW!

take a picture of what's left of your money, it's the last you'll see of it.

:ootd:

So,
Being the impatient fellow I am, and after logging in here daily, I just couldn't wait any longer, so I ordered a Stillwater kilt yesterday. I rationalized it by thinking that when I compete in some heavy games, it would be a shame to use my nice wool kilt, and possibly damage it, so why not get a Stillwater Standard Weight for that purpose.


This site and you people, are a bad influence...

Sounds logical to me. Now the big ? is how did you sell it to the Boss?

As for the bad influence, you are welcome!

I am unwifebricated. I was in a 21 year relationship, but it hit the skids in late 2007, so I am a single guy. The kilted look is my early mid life crisis (I'm 38). I figured it would be cheaper than a motorcycle.

I apologize for the assumption. But your still welcome for the bad influence.

No worries. I think the ladies may enjoy a man in a kilt.

The beauty is that dating a gal who knows going in that I wear kilts, no bargaining required later on...lol.

As for the bad influence? Call me crazy, but I really don't mind.

Well, sure... twenty kilts are definitely cheaper than twenty motorcycles.

It's NOT!!!

Welcome to the asylum. I have two SWK "heavyweight" wool kilts and one Thrifty. They're excellent value for the price. And the Thrifty is so easy to just wrap around my middle when I get home from work.
