Just placed second order from Rocky, let the Jonesing begin!

**rlloyd** · 7th December 11, 10:09 PM

And just in time for the Christmas deadline!
A few sets of flashes and hose because, hey, they were on sale; the embosed day sporran, also on sale; and, the part most will be interested in, two semi-traditional kilts!
The kilts are in Clergy and Celtic Nations. The Celtic nations, in particular, I'm very excited to see as I wasn't able to locate a picture anywhere of one...I'll try to do my best to get some pictures of it as soon as I can for anyone else that may've been eyeing it.

I made this topic pretty much right after having placed my order and, a couple hours ago, received an email saying my order had shipped. Between my previous experience and reading on here, I know Rocky & Co. are quick but...wow! A little under a week for two kilts from order to shipping! Now, the worst part of the waiting begins...

Well, if it's your second order you already know you're going to be happy with what you get. AND that it will be there in time to wear your goodies on Christmas weekend. Actually, if the order shipped by Priority Mail it could still get there as early as Monday if the US Snails suffer a fit of efficiency. So chillax a little.

Yeah, I'll be sure to get pictures up of that one in particular as soon as I possibly can. I like the looks of the sample over on the USA Kilts website; Rocky also told me he's made one or two kilts in it so far and he thinks it looks nice.

For those too lazy to go look.

Hmm. Interesting. He includes England in the list of seven celtic nations. There's always been a lot of discussion over the number of celtic nations and exactly which nation "is" and which nation "isn't".

Just checked the tracking for this order and...out for delivery! Hopefully, it will arrive in time before I've got to leave for the rest of the day and I can toss up a few quick pictures of at least the Celtic Nations.

I suppose some Cornish might not like to say so ,but Cornwall is in England.

Personally, I associate Red with Wales. It has nothing to do with my surname being exceedingly ethnic. Promise.

Also, one of the biggest reasons I went with the Celtic Nations was to have something "louder" than my 5yd Douglas and the Clergy I ordered along with the Celtic Nations. I find that rather funny now, considering I nabbed the German-American and Irish National from Rocky's closet cleaning sale.

So, of course, 10 minutes after leaving my house, I received the email alert that the package has arrived. I won't be home until 10 or 11 and these hours will BS the worst part of my relatively short Jones. Overall, I am surprised at the delivery only taking 2.5 days considering the time of year.
