Hey all,

First off, I know that many here are not fans of Sport Kilt. Having one myself I must admit it is probably my least favorite kilt but I don't hold as much comtempt for it a some folks here seem to have. That being said, here is my dilema:

Sport Kilt has recently added the Nova Scotia tartan to their current line. As fate would have it, this is the tartan that my pipe band wears. I will eventually be measured for a tank in this tartan but understandably it will be at a later time when new kilts are ordered for all new band members. Then of course we're going to be looking at the time it takes while they are made for me to jones some more. My thoughts are I could order one of these with the fringe added and pleats sewn down. The average joe watching from the side probably won't have the first clue that this isn't a tank. I'm also strongly considering letting my pipe major and quartermaster know about these.

I suppose my main question is: Does anyone here have one of these kilts with the sewn pleats and fringe? Do you think it would work as an "interim kilt" until I get the real deal?

I welcome any and all advice from my kilted brethern here and would especially like to hear from the pipers.

Thanks!
