My Alexis Malcolm cilt came in this past week, and it's truly beautiful: the Williams of Wales 13 oz wool is shockingly softer than my 16 oz tanks, and you can't even see the stitching for the hem on the outside of the apron-I looked for it *hard*. The fly plaid, flashes, and cilt pin all were as requested...except the cilt. It seems when alexis and I were discussing my measurements I screwed up and gave her my old kilt's overall length instead of my measured navel-to-knee dimensions, so my cilt came in too long! I beat myself up about it, but Alexis said don't worry: everybody gets one free adjustment, and since the Welsh tartans don't have a selvedge the hem could be corrected easy as pie. I sent the cilt back the next day and now my jonesing has begun anew.

Bryan...I should survive the cilt jones: my Kathy Lare kilt will be here any day now... :mrgreen:
