    The jacket & waistcoat from Kilts4Less had no visible wear. (I assume that it has some invisible wear.) No visible flaws. I'm sure that my order had been cleaned before it was sent, so I would assume the kilts receive the same treatment.

    Given that they purchase from multiple Scottish manufacturers (and then put their own Clan Alba brand on the products), I expect there's some slight variation from kilt to kilt. However, you have 14 days to decide whether you like the product, or whether you want a refund. And frankly, if they send you a kilt that isn't stabilized, you might strongly consider exercising that option.

    Thank you all for the very complete replies! I asked the vendor (kilts4less) my questions, and they replied that the kilts are un-stabilized, 13oz wool, and have some cleaning and alterations before shipping (new buckles and straps. I decided to cancel the order, thank you again for your insights.
