Kilt order snafu--your advice please

[Tobus]

it's twice the original delivery time, and throwing in a 16 oz tank in July and August is not something I really want to do.

Ah, I misread that part.

Sounds like you've answered that question, then. You don't want 16 ounce, and you don't want to wait for March.

Honestly, though, I don't think there will be much difference between 13 and 16 ounce in the heat of summer. If you're wearing a wool kilt in the heat of summer, doing heavy athletics, you're going to be hot. The very small difference in wool weight is not going to mean the difference between comfortable and uncomfortable. But it's your call, obviously.

***. My experience is that it is the yardage of the kilt that determines how uncomfortable it is, not the weight of the fabric.

That being said, if you're dead set on 13oz., then find another supplier who can provide the kilt in your desired time period ans get a refund.

I would suggest you cancel your order and instead order a 5 yard wool Bruce tartan kilt from Rocky at USA Kilts

http://www.usakilts.com/index.php/ki...wool-kilt.html

They have a number of Bruce tartans available

Life is too short to deal with folks that aren't interested in your business

Had a problem last year with a vendor, and they could not get my kilt right on three different tries. So, I requested, and got, a refund. Take your business to a vendor who truly appreciates you as a customer and goes out of their way to accommodate you.

First, the difference in warmth between the 13 ounce and the 16 ounce won't be that great...the nice thing about wool is that it wicks moisture and breathes to a certain extent. If you're really sweating () August temperatures, a PV kilt would probably be a better choice but I can see wanting the weight of the wool.

Second, it sounds like the fella in Detroit has the same concern as the fella in Chicago: packages sitting unguarded on the front porch. Perfectly reasonable urban paranoia!
