    Let the Jonesing begin!

    The end of February I decided to order my first Tank from Rocky, so I made a road trip to Phoenixville, PA. Rocky made the measurements and we talked about the differences between the 5-yd and the 8-yd kilts. After a couple of hours of chatting about kilts, music, tartans, and a bunch of other stuff, I made my decision on the 8 yd premium. I already had in mind to get the Edzell tartan (US Navy), so at least the hardest part was really easy.

    Rocky said that it would be his customary 6-8 weeks for delivery, so once I got home I promptly marked my calendar when I ordered it and when I could look forward to receiving it. Now mind you that was about 4-5 weeks ago. Anyhow, yesterday being a slow rainy day at work, I'm working on a Small project in between the showers and I get a call on my cell phone. This is a tad unusual as I don't get that many calls during working hours on my personal cell. Oops, missed the call. Who could it be, but USA Kilts? Hmm, I wonder what they need? So promptly call Rocky back, and he tells me guess what I owe him the remainder on my kilt, and do I want to come pick it up tomorrow or should they ship it. It's Done! Three-Four weeks early!

    I should be shipped out today and I should have it the first of next week. I'm Jonesing already!! Thanks Rocky and Kelly, have a great holiday!

    Ok, this weekend wasn't so bad. Nothing I could do that would make it get here any faster, so just enjoy the National Tartan Day and watch the Freedom win 2-0 over virginia.

    Now I know that it will be delivered TODAY. It's now just a matter of time waiting for the mailman to drop it off. Good news is that it is going to be delivered to the office. Bad news is that I have to wait for it to be delivered!!

    LOL

    Rocky and Kelly are on vacation - you might experience a delay.

    The Kilt has arrived!!! It looks great too!

    I decided to order some Navy hose to go with it, I'm just kicking myself I didn't think of it before. I should be able to get them soon. Photos will follow, but I have to get it home first!

    Grinn'in ear to ear!

    Looks great! Navy hose with ancient blue garter ties are a great combination. The ancient blue matches the lighter blue in the Edzell tartan.

    Alternatively, red hose (if your taste runs that way) or red garters/flashes pick up the subtle red stripe. Dark hose like black and charcoal will also go well, depending on the rest of your outfit.
