The waiting is the hardest part, but when it is done, I hope you agree it'll be worth it.

As a repeat customer I would go nowhere else.

And I'm awaiting my first USAK kilt - the Scruffy Wallace semi-traditional. It's too bad I'm about 1,200 miles from Rocky and crew - I bet I could bribe them to punch my order to the top of the list with a home-brewed case of my own peat-smoked blackened rye ale (I like to call it "When Smoke Gets in your Rye").
At a time like this one must ask themselves, 'WWJDD"

Please post a review after it arrives,be sure to include some pics of the kilt including the back of it. I've been considering one of these with warmer weather approaching but just can't decide.

When I started following this forum I learned that the waiting time was referred to as jonesing. Not sure the origin of this expression. Others please enlighten us.

Waiting is the hardest part.
I am also awaiting my kilt, a 5 yarder in MacNaughton Hunting Muted. My tartan looks a bit Christmas-y, and that makes me very happy. I'm strongly debating ordering a jacket and waistcoat in the same tartan.

Waiting is the hardest part, but the reward is worth it!
I placed an order for a 5 yard traditional in Nithsdale tartan back in early February, and it just arrived over the weekend, and I have decided that waiting was well worth the outcome. The craftsmanship and appearance are more than I could have hoped for, and I was pleased to see on the care instructions that I can, in fact, machine wash this one in the machine, despite it being wool with leather straps (cold, gentle cycle, lay flat to dry)!
I got everything in the order minus the sporran, which is on back order, but that is fine... I'll get it when they do....lol
*** EDIT***
USA Kilts just called, I retract the machine wash comment on the wool kilt (I do have a PV Casual that is good to go though with the washing machine, so I was partly correct in a very round about way...) the wool ones are dry clean only unless you know what you're doing (as Rocky states below).
Either way, the wait is worth it and the customer service is beyond wonderful!
