    Pretty bad when you start jonesing over just the knowledge that there will be some new tartans added to the sale list, but can't wait for the new ones to be announced. Is that some kind of "pre-jones"? "Curiosity jones"? "Anticipation jones"? "Expectation jones"? Just what do you call that?

    I have SO...so hard resisted this. MUST keep the eye on the prize:

    The Gray Stewart...material in my pile right now.
    The Ancient MacNaughton...the Tank-To-Be, also in my material pile right now.
    The box-pleat Hall tartan...material to be ordered *very* shortly.

    ...and the HUGE treat I'm planning for myself later this spring....

    More temptation is coming . I got an e-mail from Margaret Struth-Gaff this AM indicating that she should have more tartans added no later than this Friday the 9th. My apologies to all you lads that were already struggling to keep your wallet in your sporran .

    Perfectly good jones completely wasted

    I ordered my 6 yd casual 16 oz Lochcarron Weathered MacDonald over 5 weeks ago, the very day they shifted from their old web site to their new version, and their casual kilt sale portion of the webpage was not functional yet so I called them and ordered it over the phone to be billed to my Paypal (I had some funds there I needed to spend from something I had sold recently). Got the invoice through Paypal a couple days later for the casual kilt in the appropriate tartan at the right price (I also ordered matching flashed---what the heck) and so I payed it and my order was in process. About two weeks ago They contacted me about a couple specific details related to sizing and my specific tartan which was corrected quickly and my kilt promised forthwith. Been champing at the bit since, and got the package yesterday when I got home from work. Imagine my surprise when I opened the package and found a perfectly made, perfectly fitting kilt made in beautiful weathered colors of the MacDonald of Glengarry tartan instead of my ordered Clan Macdonald Weathered. Aaaarrrrggghhh. Bummer. (Interestingly my invoice says Weathered MacDonald, the hang tag on the kilt says Weathered MacDonald of Clanranald, while the Lochcarron fabric and build tag inside the actual kilt says the correct Weathered macdonald of Glengarry). Made the calls today, and after a bit of investigation discovered that the confusion arose because the MacD Weathered was listed on their previous casual kilt sale web page but for the NEW web page they no longer offered it but rather instead the MacD Wthrd of Glengarry (which adds a lovely bright white stripe right in the middle of the red strip cluster). Accomodating enough folks, the initially said that I could buy the tartan I requested only in a full 8 yard kilt (at more than twice the price) or keep the kilt with the incorrect tartan and they would provide me with a $50CDN credit on their website. Not preferring either of those options the service rep passed my concerns up to her supervisor, and I have just recieved an email that I will be returning the mis-manufactured kilt and flashes and they will be making me a knew one in the appropriate tartan. Yeah for good customer service. Now just a trip to the post office, another few weeks of repeat jonesing, and hopefully things will be right when it gets here next time.

    I just wish it had gone better the first time around, but at least I did not need it in a hurry and they DID the right thing once the error was discovered. Thanks Burnett's & Struth.

    Will keep all posted when it gets here. And now I find they are adding several more tartans to the list---I just got over getting this kilt past the wife's approval meter, which is pretty hard to register on these days. What will I do if they have something else I want.

    I could no longer resist the Macdonald of Glengary weathered. I am a weak man.

    My Dress MacDonald is from their Casual Kilt sale, it is 16oz, best thing to do is get in contact with them they are very helpful. Here is my review of it:
