Thus ends the longest Jones of all time

[Teufel Hunden]

Couldn't fit everything in the pic, but the wedding is finally within reach.

3 Montrose Doublets, with a bit of custom work done at the manufacturer, a fly plaid, some diced hose, some solid hose.... and 3 pairs of those dreaded ghillies. Nearly as quickly as I unpacked them and tried mine on, they were rushed off to the tailor for some last minute alterations.

Hats off to Scotweb for coming through. Aside from a bit of a communications mixup with a lady who doesn't normally handle orders, I couldn't be happier. Just about 2 weeks in advance after the manufacturer delayed delivery on the doublets a couple of times, it was much better than the one day in advance I originally heard about. I spoke with customer service folks a couple of times at Scotweb, and they were both very friendly and helpful. They even upgraded my shipping to overnight to make sure I had time to get these ready for the big day.


The only criticism I have of these doublets, is Xmarkers judged them too harshly. I had read stories about being unable to move in these things and being on the brink of a heat stroke at all times. As I recall, one gent even said the heat is so bad, he wouldn't wish it on his worst enemy. I put mine on and pranced around outside in direct sunlight, with the temperature being 94º, and didn't think they were all that bad. No worse than dress blues, really, and I could (and have) wear them all day. With the added freedom/airflow of a kilt, I'm sure these will be just fine... especially considering my reception is in an air conditioned building.

Now you can get back to that little list she has...






May you always feel as lucky and as pleased as you do now- and may you always be as pleasing to your bride as you will look on your wedding day.
