Nightstalker Custom Pics and Review
I got up from my computer to let my pit bull out for a minute and I found a glorious package waiting for me on my front doorstep! I took it inside and placed it on the kitchen table for opening.

This is how my custom stillwater kilt arrived. I took it out of the bag and saw that it was in good shape save for a slight crease in the front. No biggy. I took some quick shots of the front and back after I put a Tudor rose pin in it.

The tartan is all black and grey. You can see that I custom ordered this one pleated to the stripe in the back, so the pattern is different there. I tend to get all my kilts this way if I can help it. I didn't know that SWK did custom kilts until I recently read the fine print at the bottom of the page for their standard kilts. I had really been needing a 23 inch long kilt.

And here I am wearing it with a sweater. As far as the kilt goes, I was quite satisfied with it. I think it must be hard to find pleat depth like this in this price range. I was wearing a military issue style McKenzie kilt just before I put this one on, which made the SWK standard seem lighter in comparison. But when I stepped outside I found it was the perfect weather for a SWK standard today. The fabric on the SWK standard is soft. 

I enjoy this kilt a lot. I just thought I'd share some pictures and thoughts about this wonderful tartan.

Thanks a bunch, Grant.
I just saw that you're from Canada. It might amuse you to know that I was in the parking lot of an Ingles grocery store today here in Tennessee, and a Canadian lady stopped me to see if she could show me and my kilt to her sons. I think she felt it was an important part of her heritage as a Canadian.
It was fun. She probably wasn't expecting to see a kilt at the grocery store.

I was giving some thought of ordering one after seeing this great looking kilt,but when i checked out the site-it showed size 46 as the smallest size.
I wear a 36 so i guess thats out.

My Nightstalker heavyweight is one of my two favorites for sure. It's a killer tartan- especially for us metalhead types! It looks great with my Iron Maiden hockey jersey, and my Argylle vest. You wear it well.

Congratulations, I'm in the Nightstalker clan too. and I completely understand what you're saying about the fabric having that nice soft feel to it.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
