    For those who understand, no explanation is necessary; for those who don't, none is possible.

    Unfortunately, international commerce, especially where it's related to design, can take some time.

    I ordered yarn samples on Monday, hopefully we'll have them within week. If we're doing this, I want to make sure we do it right and not leave the colour selection of a fairly non-traditional tartan in the hands of others.

    I'm also waiting to hear back about individualized billing for shipping.

    With my wife doing a lot of color matching in her work I can understand the caution here. Especially in the digital age. One monitor it looks like purple and on another it looks grey.

    I WANT INSTANT GRATIFICATION as much as the next man but I more than stand behind doing it cautiously.

    Though I am curious on what the proceedure is on this. Should we do a new thread or Group Post of a DIY - Kilt for concept to wearing?

    This is really tempting as it's a freakin' good lookin' tartan. The longer it drags out, the better for me 'cause it's not a good month economically...if the final date is down the road a bit, I may have the extra bucks to toss in...

    So take your time...be thorough...

    Best

    Noooooooooooo............I'm hopeless........ especially when the tartan looks that good and means what that one does!! This is going to be agonising!! You're right though, perfection is more important that haste, as much as I hate to admit it

    Sounds like you feel the same way as I do about this!!!
    I know it'll be worth it, but I'm busting to see what it looks like!
