    Need a 54 Long Jacket/Vest by 5/24??!!

    Hey guys...

    Not getting my hopes up... but i'm wondering if anyone out there might have an idea.

    I would like to wear a Daywear jacket and waistcoat for my wedding on the 27th of May. Any idea where I could RUSH order a Kilkenny, Wallace, Argyll, or Crail combo?

    Size 54 Long (or Extra Long if possible)
    Black or Charcoal Tweed

    Rocky. You and I exchanged emails over the weekend. I do know about that 54 Long. I'm praying it stays put while I wait to hear back from another inquiry I had made. I'll be in touch very soon.

    I should have gotten an earlier start on this. Things changed at the last minute and now I'm scrambling to outfit myself for my own wedding. Finances, as is always the case, is forcing me to be really thrifty.

    After this wedding it's going to be a VERY long time before I can afford to spend $500 on another kilt jacket & waistcoat. So I had hoped to find a jacket that I could wear not only to my wedding, but to every church service, wedding, dinner, concert, date, and job interview I'll have for the next three years.

    I thought a daywear jacket would be the way to go. I love those Kilkenny Jackets on your site. I'm also 6'5" and 250lbs. NO ONE stocks daywear jackets in "Viking Size".

    I don't know about the jacket, but I think we have a black Argyle waistcoat on the rack in that size. If you can find a black jacket in stock somewhere without a waistcoat, we can maybe help you complete the combo. Call the shop at 1-866-898-1192.

    Matthew. Thx. I actually called your shop yesterday and spoke with a lovely lady. She was very helpful and extremely polite on the phone. She deserves a raise ;)

    I did wind up finding what I needed. It's coming over from Scotland at this very minute.

    Thanks for the help everyone. I did find a tweed crail jacket @ www.tartankilts.com in my size and ready to ship today.

    Rocky.. i'll be calling you for my next kilt. My best man gets his gear from usakilts and he loves it.

    Talk to you soon.
