    SportKilt ships out of California----and if you think that's a jones, just wait until you've got a place in line waiting for your kilt maker to get to your order, and then hand sew it!

    Just something to look forward to, is all.

    Or, worse, for your kilt maker's cloth order to be woven, and shipped, and received, so you can be placed in line waiting for your kilt maker to hand sew it.

    Aye! I'm dreading that---one day I'm going to order a custom woven length of tartan in the Kazakhstani district tartan, and then have a) a box pleated Matt Newsome kilt, b) a tank, and c) kilted skirts or other attire for my wife and daughters sewn. That's gonna be a loooooooooooooooong wait.

    Soooo - what does the Kazakhstan district tartan look like? Maybe we can get Matt to order a special run in P/V and all get box pleats from him.

    Gotcha: it's the 4th that's dragging it out, either way. If you took the express saver option, they are probably counting Thursday/Friday/Monday as the business days it will take.

    FedEx is usually right on the money in the delivery date they quote to you---so next Tuesday night, we want pictures! Is this your black one on the way?

    I have a US St. Andrews en route from SK too, should be here Thursday. It just popped back onto the tracking system in Charlotte tonight; it was coming ground. So I won't have it Independence Day, but on Quatorze Juillet I can say it's blue, white, and red.

    From my Sportkilt ordering experiences (two), they were received with very little delay as I eagerly watched each make their multistop journey to me via the fedex tracking site.
