A new form of Jones---jonesing for the day you are finally able to order a kilt, then start that real jones.

We need a term for it. I've got it bad. I've currently got that sort of jones very bad. I've got 3 major present-getting occasions coming up and can't ask for a kilt because I'm still losing weight (my birthday, my first father's day and a Yay, we're done with residency present.) The only thing I want at all is a new kilt. Hopefully by the fall.

Ah well. Sathor, good luck with your jones.

Well, I just received my IOS 13oz from Rockey at USA Kilts, on Monday. Ordered it at end of Feb, and received mid May. Most of the wait was for the fabric, which arrived at end of April, I believe.

The $500+ is well worth the wait. It is tailored just for you, so it fits properly, and cannot compare to any off the rack product. Save up your pennies and go for it.

Two months is my customers' average wait time and I think that's pretty typical across the board for most kilt makers. Yes, a good portion of that time is often spent waiting for the fabric to actually arrive whether they've had to re-weave depleted stock or not. If it's a reasonably common tartan the mill will have it on hand. Most mills have very extensive ranges.
