Here on Jones St. wondering: What are you Jonesing For?

Awaiting an SK specialty Army ACU. Its in Memphis now. Don't hijack it! ;-)

Leaving Memphis! I love Internet shopping!

My biggest jones is waiting for my Grandmum to ship the 8 yrd Cunningham she recently finished for me.

My next Jones is two part. I had a stint at MEPS last weekend while attempting to join the U.S. Navy reserves. I failed for my eyes, to great a degree of refraction, but my Navy liason is trying to get a waiver. I am really jonesing for that waiver right now. It sucks to sit and wait to find out something so important. Anyway, if I do get in, I am going to order a USAK in the U.S. Navy tartan because I really like it and will have a legitimate reason to sport it!

Two jones' right now. Ordered the Pride of New Zealand box pleat from Matt Newsome last week - guess that will be a several month jones.

The other is this fabric from England, bought on eBay 10 days ago.

It's WEATHERED GLEN CRAIGLOCH TARTAN from Peter MacArthur of Hamilton, a mill now closed. Have not been able to find it on the Tartan Ferret so assume it is a fashion tartan, but I liked the colors and sett. Will be holding this to make a box pleat once Matt and Barb publish their instructions.

Well it is official now...I have ordered the 8 yard machine stitched Isle of Skye from ScottishKilts.net. I requested it be pleated to "no stripe" since I saw the kilt made by Barb T. From what I understand, the turnaround time is very quick, so hopefully I'll be posting pics in a month or two.

Regards,

Tom

I must be sick. I'm not jonesin' for anything.

**Finn** · 28th February 08, 08:59 AM

Its on the truck for delivery! Woo-hoo!

**McNulty** · 28th February 08, 09:09 PM

Well ok, here goes. I'm jonesing for only three kilts. All three 16oz wool, Scottish made, and in my home by years end. An Ulster Weathered, a Donegal from Lochcarron, and an Isle of Skye. All three knife pleated to the sett. There!

There was a long-ish box from Freedom Kilts (yes Steve spelled my name wrong) (again ...) waiting for me when I got home last night /this morning.
I'm thinking it's time to go shopping for a grey shirt (pics when I get it to go with what's in the box)

1 down, 3 to go

CT - your rock Steve ! (then I'll box it back up and send it back via Juan Valdez ...)

Currently jonesing for my USAK Grey Granite Semi-Trad, but I know I don't have too much longer to wait! Also jonesing for this great Lion Rampant kilt pin (not with a sword, but just a big lion), and maybe a pair of grey or black hose. Then it'll be on to jonesing for an 8-yard tank (probably from Rocky as well!), and some more semi-trads and belts and...well, I've already been bitten, and I don't even have my first kilt just yet!

Also not kilt-related, but I'm also jonesing to do a Warmoth guitar buildup and have someone paint it in either a tartan or Saltire pattern.
