For Pete's sake someone buy this kilt!!!!

**Riverkilt** · 19th September 05, 10:42 AM

Another reason for me to lose weight and grow taller.

I don't get it though...looks like its being sewn to order for any size, or is this something someone didn't pick up or returned that they're trying to sell off.

Does this ebay deal mean someone could REALLY buy that kilt for $120 if it fit them...? There are so many ebay listings like this that imply one kilt for sale that are really open ended deals for kiltmakers....help me understand here...??

This is one of a number of listings by Stillwater Kilts. I recently purchased one of their standard kilts in Nightstalker. It is a very nice, lighter weight P/V blend kilt. I wore it to the Celtic festival this last weekend. I have heard from others on the board that they have been happy with SW as well. They offer a decent line of kilts in stock sizes. The only thing to beware of with their hevyweight kilts is that they categorize 13oz wool as "heavyweight" which is pretty light. Doesn't mean it is a bad kilt, but lighter than what is being offered by other makers as heavyweight, and would be classified as light to medium weight based on the posts I have seen by others on the forum and also other kiltmakers. What is nice is that they generally appear to have a good selection of kilts in stock and so you can have one pretty quickly. I ordered mine on a Thurs or Fri and had it on Monday.

SW standards are not PV. They are acrylic. USAK and Bearkilts are PV.

What is the difference?

Primarily to me PV is A LOT thinner. Acrylic weaves I've seen are about twice as thick as my PV USA kilt and less tightly weaved.

PV is a polyester-viscose mix. Acrylic is that, acrylic. The acrylic fabric is a lot thicker and feels looser than PV. Also, another difference I noticed is the feel of acrylic is a lot more fuzzy, actually PV is not fuzzy at all.

Not sure what you mean by fuzzy, but after wearing my SW standard in Nightstalker for a full day with a sporran, the front apron is decidedly pilled or fuzzed. Not sure if that is becaues of the construction or the material. Anybody have an answer? I feel like I need to "shave" the front apron before wearing it again.

It is the material. The more you wear it, the more fuzz is gonna pile up in the friction areas. Just grab a razorblade and carefully shave it, carefully!!!! You will probably have to do this evry once or to times you wear it.
