I've got 15 UKs and since I wear a short I'd guess about half a dozen of them have been chopped from longer ones to avoid having to wait longer. Worth it to me. Waited three months for my first UK back in the slow days. Seems being able to walk into a retail store and take a kilt home right then, or after being chopped, would be worth not waiting.

Just my opinion.

Shrinkage of my UKs has been due to my eating.....
