#9, #9, #9...
Kilt #9 arrived Saturday... again.
It arrived the first time on the 10th, but I messed up on the waist size & had to exchange it.
This is my first Stillwater Kilt (Nightstalker) & let me join in the chorus of the many others extolling the virtues & great value of SWK & Jerry's amazingly fast service! 
Sure, the SWK doesn't match the fine craftsmanship & quality of my custom-made, hand-tailored, 100% wool, made-in-Scotland traditional "tank," but my tank cost 7½ times as much as the SWK! However, for an everyday, kick around traditional styled kilt that I don't have to worry about messing up & can just throw in the washer, the SWK seems pretty darn close to perfect.
I've been doing a lot of online ordering of various products for a number of years & I tell ya, SWK has THE fastest delivery of anyone I've ever dealt with. I got 3 deliveries from SWK - the first too small kilt, a later order for the Nightstalker sporran & all leather sporran belt, & the exchanged kilt - & each time my stuff was at my door 2 business days later. Great job, Jerry!
Oh, & a few words of praise for the Nightstalker sporran are in order, too. What a great idea adapting modern materials & construction to the sporran. This has now become my regular daywear sporran. With the nylon material & zipper/velcro closures, this makes it obvious that the sporran was the original fanny-pack.
This is my first SWK, but not my last; next I'll get the Standard Black Watch & then the Irish National & maybe the Black Stewart & then...

congratulations on number nine. I just got myself a NS sporran and love it. I don't carry much anyway and it is mucy lighter than my leather ones. I'm hoping that this years new line will have some more interesting tartans. O'Neille
Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear; seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come. --William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

Congrats. I have one of each of his "lines" (econo, standard, and heavyweight.) They are all great products for the money.
