What should I do?

It's extremely hard especially when the jonesing has been in effect for 8 weeks. I agree that you will have to start the waiting process all over again if you switch vendors but things happen for reasons. Maybe this is your chance to back out and go with someone else.

I just received a beautiful handmade kilt from a vendor on this forum. I ordered in Jan with an agreed upon wait time of 22 weeks (he is a busy man).
The kilt was finally delivered approx 7 weeks past the 22 week time frame.
I have to say I was anxious/a bit miffed that it was taking so long to be finished. There was good communication between us though which helped.
It was more than worth the wait. This kilt is spectacular and everything I could have hoped for and more. It was well worth the time it took. The jonesing was half the fun as well. I felt like an expectant father.

Hang in there. Though I have not had the pleasure of doing business with Rocky, everything I have read on this forum regarding him is first class. It will be well worth the wait and you will appreciate it even more when it arrives. I know I have with mine.

For my most recent kilt, I was measured in April and received the kilt on the 20th of December. (It was from a different kiltmaker.) Yes, it was along wait, but it was worth it. Hang in there. Rocky will do what he has said he will do.
