    Finally made it

    I have a deal with myself. The money that I spend on kilts and kilt items comes in the form of spare change that I toss in a jar at the end of each day. I set my eyes on a Wallace Collection Kilt Jacket from USA Kilts and I saved for what seemed like an eternity. I just cashed in my change jar and to my delight it added up to enough to finally order my jacket and vest.

    I just pulled the trigger. The jones begins.

    That's Awesome! But now I'm wishing I could save up for things faster. Thanks. Haha

    And we'll help you by waiting patiently for the pictures.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    It's sharp, isn't it? I went with black barathea and chrome squares. Both of my other jackets are conversions. This will be my first proper kilt jacket. I am psyched.

    Dang. I wanted to look at the photo of the jacket you ordered but it appears that the site is down right now. It had a security note attached.

    Congrats, sir.
