    B&S Anc MacDonald of Clanranald

    Something else for me to jones about... I took advantage of Burnett's & Struth's sale to order one of their "casual" kilts. An Ancient MacDonald of Clanranald in 16oz. I won't say it's a five-yard kilt because, well, when you get to be my size, you need more than that.

    I'm sure you will all hear my cheering when it arrives.

    For those who are interested in the sale, I would note that the tartan seems to be going fast. I had to go through a list of four or five to find one where they had material left enough for a kilt. Alas, the Weathered MacDonald was all gone, as are Isle of Sky, Earl of Saint Andrews, and a few others.

    Sorry for the mistake in the forum title. I was only half paying attention when I posted, and mixed up. It's the Clanranald, which is blue and green, rather than the Glendale, which is red. Maybe one of our nice mods can change it for me so I don't look the eejit.

    That really is a great deal on these kilts. I could swing it, but I've got other things I'm looking at at the moment. Thankfully the tartans I'd want are now gone. Great grab on a great deal to you though!

    Oh, and I've changed your thread title per your request.

    Congratulations! Hope it gets there soon.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    They indicated four to six weeks. So now I have a kilt and a jacket coming. Weehee.
