Meet the Joneses: Thread for those awaiting the X Marks Tartan

I'm in on this order too! Unfortunately I'm gonna have to wait until I accumulate more funds to have it made into a kilt.
Why did I order it? Well, some of you may remember me posting about whether I should even have a tartan kilt awhile back. Most of your responses were very positive. So the way I figure it, If I'm prolly only gonna have one tartan kilt in my lifetime it might as well be xmarks.

It'll be quite some time before I see my X-Marks tartan, cuz I'm having Steve ship my 2-meters directly to Matt to be made into one of his fine box-pleat kilts.

Since I've got 9 kilts to wear right now (not all at the same time), I'm not jonesing too badly. As long as I have the X-Marks kilt in time for my October trip to Scotland, I'll be satisfied.

It's a good thing this X-Marks tartan became available when it did, though, or I would've spent that money on a kilt in the American Express tartan. I've worked there for over 13 years, so I figure I've earned the right to wear it & actually, I think it's a pretty nice looking tartan. (And no, the tartan isn't made up of alternating pictures of Amex green, gold, platinum & black cards!

) Here's what the Amex tartan looks like. I'll probably still get one, later...

...and then I'll probably get a kilt in the Moffat Clan or Highland Granite tartan, & then...

I like that tartan too. Hmm, I've been a cardmember for long enough that it feels like a clan association . . .
