Well, it has arrived...

and it's VERY nice. The stitching is even and tight. The material is very nice. It has a bit of weight to it, and 20 pleats. The hardware is excellent, the overall quality is very good. Caledonia-Kilts shipped it right when they said they would and my jones was about a week and a half. That's pretty darned good, to get a kilt made and shipped here to California from Scotland in that amount of time. Communication has been very good with the vendor. I'm going to REALLY like this kilt...

...except for one little problem.

It's about 4 inches too small. *ARRRRGGGGHHH******** I just about cried when I opened the bag.

So I will be back to him with a request for another one, in the correct size. We'll see how their customer service goes, so far it's been exemplary. However, the kilt itself is quite nice.
