Anybody know where I can find this in US?

Well there was a thread someone posted wondering weather or not to go out kilted on St. Patrick's Day. In the end I decided that I will, seeming how my beautiful Gordon kilt just arrived....Anyway. So I thought that to help remove confusion as to my heritage I would order myself a St. Andrew's Cross belt buckle! The one I'm looking for is blue and white enamel, and is ~$30. I'm having no problem finding it in the UK, but it might not get here in time if shipped from overseas. Does anyone know where I might find this in the US?

Here's anothe option for you to consider at Canterbury Pewter here in Fredericksburg, VA - $36. Photo of mine below. It's stunning!

I suspect few people in the US know the Saltire is a Scottish symbol.

You might be right. But more importantly, they will recognize that it isn't IRISH!

It took me a while to find the one I was looking for again...

This is the style of buckle I'm looking for.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Ok ok, I'll just have to spell it out for people. I'll make my own buckle that says "Scottish and Sexy!"

I just had three shipments from the UK, none of them took anywhere near 14 days.
Sweater by Royal Mail/ US Post: 30Jan -1 Feb
Sweater by Royal Mail/ US Post: 14 Feb -19 Feb [18th was a postal holiday]
"large gift basket"

by Fedex: 14Feb -15Feb held for ransom in Memphis, 16 Feb ransom paid, @ my door 18 Feb.

They just state "14 days" in case it fall off the airplane and gets shipped by slow boat via China

.

Back on the main topic I would agree as others have said that Saltaire [sp?] may be a bit OTT for St Patricks day.
