Being somewhat biased, since my kilt is an 8 yard, 17oz army tank, I thought nothing could pale in comparison. I'm still biased. Lol. Actually, my brother got the Holyrood as his first kilt and I have been very surprised at how nice it looks in person. It looks like a five hundred dollar kilt, whereas it is a fraction of that price. He's been asked by a few people as to what sett the kilt is. It definitely is an eye catcher. Very nice. One of the sharper non-clan kilts out there for sure.
