    Question SWK Heavy Weight vs Celtic Croft Economy?

    Hey Gang,

    Need some info. I am looking at saving some money up to buy a better grade kilt. I have done bussiness with both SWK and CC the question I need answered is which one you recommend.

    SWK in Black Watch

    CC Econ. in Clark (Clergy) Ancient.

    Basically I am looking at construction and material quality.

    p.s. my new Black Stewart thrifty should be here today or tommorrow.

    Thanks,

    TKR

    Isn't the CC Eco less than a hundred bucks? But what about the quality? SWK heavy is like 120ish (in USD).

    I don't have either of these I'm just throwing in my two cents.

    I know two guys here in Nor Cal that have C.C. Economy kilts. They're OK, but neither of the guys wears them very much, whereas the Stillwater heavyweights get a LOT of wear, hereabouts.

    As one of the Nor Cal Rabblers Alan describes above...


    I have three SWK Heavyweights and 1 CC Economy. I would go with SWK.

    Cheers

    Trust God and spring for a USA Kilts Semi-trad in Clark/Clergy, then you'll have a fine kilt you can wear all year round.
