i got also a stillwater kilt, but then i ordered it from get shirty in edinburgh. a shop i don t want to be reminded as they sent me the kilt to big and it then needed plenty of emails and months (!) to get my kilt in the right size.

my mother worked also on the apron, made a fringe and i m actually waiting for another alteration.
i was wondering with that kilt, as they have the pleats hemmed just a couple of inch down from the top end. not as it would be correct down to the seat. so she will hem them. is this not also a deficit of these kilts?

but aside the necessary alterations they are good kilts, but also they have the bottom edge pleated to the inside...
so what i learnt ( for all those guys having not a cheep tailor) is spent the double of price and get a better kilt. cuase with these alterations it would come to same cost..
