I HAD TO WAIT A WHOLE HOUR AND 3 MINUTES for shipping.

Do you think it will be at my house when I get home?

and the Jonesing begins.
Ordered on Thursday at 8:45 AM, Shipping notice 9:47 AM, and at 5:20 PM Saturday it was sitting at my front door. It may have arrived earlier but I was down for a nap.
Thanks Jerry

This is my first Stillwater Thrifty and I was not sure what to expect. I have USAKilts causal Scotland National and semi-traditional Army kilts. The SW Thriifty was lighter in weight and the pleats are not sewn down. These were expected and for the cost the quality is excellent.

I am very impressed with the pleating, they are every consistent in size and very evenly spaced. Now I just have to decide if I want to sew them down. Since I stick out in the front and am fairly flat in the back sewing the peats to the fell should not distort the fit.

I can see a number of Stillwaters in the future. The USAKilts are great kilts and there will be more of them in the future, however, the difference is between jeans and dress p**ts. For around the house, in the yard, some where it might get dirty, Stillwater. If it is a little formal and trying to impress the USAKilt. I don't think the average person would understand the difference with out feeling and looking close.

Now how to convince the wife that a Newsome box pleated "Cunningham" would be great for Christmas?
