I can't do it.
I got all the way to check out, and "Cluck, Cluck."
I can not order a quality kilt over the internet. They have the fabric I want, and the price is reasonable. I am not in a hurry, so no need for a rush order.
If you knew me, I am mostly not a coward. Physically. I have never backed down from a challenge. Fights, mountains, extreme sports, Military experiences in non-friendly countries, large plates of pasta or larger bowls of ice cream, Public Speaking, ect.
I just can't hit the "Order" button. As brought up in a previous post, my weight and size fluctuates 30 pounds, and three inches in one year, work related. I am paranoid about the correct measurements. A few hundred dollars to me is a large amount of money, I am a tight wad. My "box" kilts combined don't add up to my dream kilt. I have two for summer size and one for winter size. Oh, and a cheapy casual that I trash about the house in.
What do I tell the poor people making the kilt?
Them: "What is your seat?"
Me: "What time of the year?"
Them: "Okay, how about your waist?"
Me: "Depends on how much I have worked. Can you give me three inches?"
Them: "Of What?"
Me: "Waist."
Them: "We always send the scraps. Why, did you want us to make flashings?"
Me: "That would be nice."
You can see where this is going. Any mistakes will be on my end. Maybe I will have to go to an actual kilt maker, hand over the cash, and close my eyes. Or I should just shut up and be happy with my Acrylic kilts.
