    Thats what I like about the standerds. They're easy to wash and easy to press when needed.

    Been there, done that

    Hi Alan,

    Just did the same thing to my STW HW about a week ago. The left hand edge of the apron wasn't folding over- just kind of flattening out and a new edge was trying to form itself about 3/4 of an inch outboard. When my kilts speak, I listen I got out my new fabric steamer, eradicated the old apron edge, then fired up the iron and pressed in a fresh one where the garment told me it wanted to be. Success!

    As time goes by I'm beginning to see that all of my kilts, be they high class or low life, need some sort of tweaking. ;)

    Cheers,
    Vincent
    I've kilt for less.

    I guess the old thread that I had on how to "alter" the Stillwater aprons is so long gone in the archives, that it's forgotten... or just too old to remember.

    The "economy" aprons are a different dog to attempt... with major alterations, but the "standards" are as simple as you've noted. It's a HUGE difference ain't it?!

    For the price of a little ironing, you get one hell of a kilt. I know that the new offerings in 2006 will FINALLY bring Stillwater Kilts out front where they belong in the affordable kilts category. The look, feel and value are untouchable.

    I've tried to find that thread many times, Jimmy, with no luck. If you wouldn't mind reposting (if possible), that'd be great!

    Yes, if you have more than what's been said here (and I assume you do), definitely, repost it.

    I'll do what I can to try to find where that dog ran too... but if time permits over the weekend, I'll just have to re-do the whole thing. After altering numerous Stillwaters, it's really not any trouble to re-write it. Any alterations with the Standards are so simple that a caveman could do it. (Let's see if they bitch at me like they did to Geico).8)
