Early Arrival of New Kilt

[cessna152towser]

The post lady rang the doorbell at 8am this morning. Not one but two jiffy bags. The first contained a kilt belt which I'd bought on e-bay from Edgesoftime and had been expecting. This belt is fully adjustable with a velcro rather than stud fastening. But the second parcel was unexpected and turned out to be the Dark Island 13 oz 5 yarder which I had ordered from Scotweb. When I placed my order at the end of February they had stated 6th April as the earliest dispatch date and as I had not paid extra for express delivery, I wasn't expecting to see it till mid April at earliest. First time I've ordered a made to measure garment over the internet, so I was worried lest I had got the measurements wrong, but my local kiltmaker will only make full 8 yards kilts, so didn't have much option. However the kilt is a perfect fit. Great quality of material, though at £220 for just 5 yards of material it ought to be. Tried the new kilt and belt in front of the mirror. Can't wait to wear it outside and get some pictures, if the rain would stop.
