The Stillwater Heavyweight

[Freedomlover]

My new Stillwater heavyweight has arrived. 5 days from order to delivery. Jerry really has to work on that. ;)

O.K. here is the low down. It is pleated to the stripe, and the pattern is perfectly matched. The reverse pleat on the left is 6" deep, and the one on the right is 5 1/2" deep. The pleats are sewn down for 8", which is a couple inches more than I like, but that can be fixed. The straps are good quality leather, and the buckles are nice solid cast items. There is close to 8 yards of material in it, and 'heavyweight' is just what it is. After the first of the year I'll probably take it to a tailor and have a couple of trouser (excuse the word) type pockets added. Frankly, I do not see how he can make a kilt this good for as little as he sells them for.

Two thumbs up!
