Yesterday I gave Rocky a call and pulled the trigger on a Scruffy Wallace PV Semi-Trad. If you haven't seen it, here is the page on USAK's site. Here's a thread showing one in wool (post #23).
This time around the jones is worse than usual. First, I haven't purchased a kilt in nearly two years (--I know!). It's not technically a relapse since I've been making my own, but they're a whole other animal so it's apples and oranges.
Second, I've never had to wait for the mill before. Some guys consider it an expected part of the process, but I've always ordered in-stock or ready-to-ship tartans. Knowing that it's going to be a while before they can even start on the kilt is killing me, but I know when it gets here it will be worth it! Plus it's not really going to take much longer than a regular order, but it sure feels like it will.
Since this will probably bring on a full-blown relapse I'm anticipating a trip to a Kiltaholics Anonymous meeting. (This may not be the place to find a sponsor though.)
