    It's here, along with my belt. I'm a *very* happy boy.

    For the record, that means it took them a total of 12 days from order placed on Sunday to arriving on my doorstep. I *will* be ordering more from them. They rock!

    Oh, and the kilt is really nice too. I came home and immediately put it on. Nice piece of kit, though I believe I may have ordered it a little long. It's just below my knee instead of just above, but I'm OK with that. Overall, it's *very* comfortable and I couldn't be happier.

    I don't know that I'll wear it this weekend. I'm really leaning toward my Douglas tartan, since the clan will have a tent set up.

    I'm going to check on temperature in the morning, since it's a heavy wool kilt. If it's going to be hot I'll be all about the AK.

    The kilt arrived today and is perfect! Fit like a glove right out of the box, and is far better in person than the pics suggest!

    First major outing will be on the golf course Saturday morning!

    My wife bought me a brown AK for my birthday. Sadly, she didn't order it early enough and it arrived 2 weeks after the fact. But brothers let me tell you it was worth the wait.
    I think Mike hit the nail on the head with this type of material. It's a happy medium between the black and the putty (I think he calls it khaki now). The pleats are less prone to curling like the black and the material moves much better than the putty.
    The first time I wore it was to help move my sister-in-law. One of the appliance deliverymen looked at me and said "Man, let me buy that kilt off you. That's got to be the perfect thing for this heat." He was later heard by my saying that he really needs to get himself one of those kilts.
