So now the Jonesing begins again. Can anyone on board guess when an order placed today is likely to be delivered?

REMEMBER this stuff is damaged! Yes, you can probably make a kilt out of it, a number of people on the board have done so, but you may have to piece some bits together, cleverly under the pleat folds and so on. I'd buy a little bit extra. It might be oil-stained/spotted, when you get it, Moosedogs batch was...mine wasn't. Just BE AWARE that this is "damaged goods" and don't go blue in the face if you have to do a fair bit of extra work to make it into a nice kilt.
AND....as Riverkilt says, kilts aren't the ONLY thing you can make out of this stuff.
Mine turned around in about a week, but I think Tartan Hiker ordered a day or two before I did. Maybe he'll get his, today.
