Double Dang Jonesing!!

**Woodsheal** · 4th June 08, 08:10 AM

OK, I'm still waiting on my box-pleat from Matt (no more than a month left, I'm hoping

).

Now, I've just ordered a hand-sewn, 5 yard "Hillwalker" from Alexis Malcolm in 16 oz. US Army tartan! (These are listed as machine-sewn on their website, but can be done by hand by special request, for more $'s). Mid-August for this one! Jones City!!

I was going to take advantage of our X-Marks discount and order from Scotweb, but decided to avoid all of the shipping/customs hassle and order domestically. And besides - Alexis does great work...!

Congrats on two hand-sewn kilts!

Ron, you're thinking of the Hector Russell "Hillwalkers", made in Scotland (if they're even still offered) - a different animal than the Alexis Malcolm (US made) version....
