I pulled the proverbial trigger. Jones time.

I've been watching the prices on the Capercaillie medium-weight tartan drop at Scotweb over the last week and a half. They finally fell to the point where I had said I would wait...I wouldn't let myself buy the tartan until the total cost (no counting shipping or VAT) was <$200. Well.... that happened this morning. If I opt for their economy shipping, there's actually no charge to France, so the total including shipping is just $203. That's still a LOT of cash for a frugal sort like me. This is my last kilt for a LONG time, and I've wanted this tartan for almost four years..

It's ordered.

It's on it's way to Lady Chrystel.

Initiate Jones.

Alan: I ordered my Capercaillie kilt yesterday, alas not from Lady Chrystel but from John Hart of Keltoi. Please be sure to update this thread with pics as you receive them. I know Robert occassionally posts "work in progress" photos. I have a few months of Jonesing but will enjoy seeing how yours turns out in the interim. I re read your thread last night after my order was placed. I am not a naturalist or environmentalist but found common chords in your comments on choosing this tartan. Also, not being Scottish I don't have a clan tartan and like to stick with the non clan tartans such as my Isle of Skye.
