    Is this normal?

    Received my first kilt (SportKilt) last week. A tad big so I brought it to my local taylor to move the buckles a bit. Wow...a two week turn around!? Cant wait that long so I ordered an other kilt (AmeriKilt) to fill the void. Then today a get an Email from SWK that the size of another kilt I've been looking at is now in stock!! Does it every end?? And now my son (age 4) told me he wants a kilt! I can bet that by tomorrow I will have ordered matching kilts for he and I (Mackenzie mod.) I dont remember reading any warnings about this when I ventured into this forum. So has this happened to others too??

    And there's no guarantee that you won't relapse the minute you see a nice Isle of Skye tank, or a Lady Chrystal double-box kilt.

    Yes it is normal, especially with Jerry. I asked about two items I wanted that were not on his website, in a short time they were there and a response from him telling me so.

    At least the cost of shipping two kilts from SWK isn't much more than ordering just 1. My son enjoys his SWKs.

    When you start looking at hand sewn kilts, or even kilts sewn up to your size rather than a precut size, you'll be hooked deep.

    Enjoy

    Dante didn't know about kilts when he wrote the Inferno. Welcome to the 7th ring of kilt jonesing.
