eBay Black Watch Review

[Mike S]

I'm assuming that, since the pleats are not tapered per a bespoke kilt, that the small of the back waist area hasn't had it's inner pleat area cut back?

This would make it possible, if the owner so desired, to redo the kilt's pleated area by hand and adjust for fit and size should the owner wish to basically remake the kilt. Having made quite a few kilts and having a working knowledge to do so, this is what I would do.

Your review is compelling me to buy one of these cheapo kilts and have a go at it. Cheers, and please do post some photos when you are able.

Arrrrgh, there's gold in them thar hills, laddie.... I, too am an ebay tramp. My most recent scores.... a Thomas Gordon Fraser tartan 7 yarder for $45 CAN and a yet unreceived Hector Russel Holyrood tartan for about $65.

Bid on,

Glad they're talking to you hiker,

Nada to my email yet...but I'm not ebay, and probably never will be, so emailed them on their regular website.

Was interested in what the Ottawa Indian tartan could possibly be since I'm a graduate of Ottawa University....

I love the old adage, "You can have any two of price, quality, or service." So far the later seems to be lacking for me.

Thanks for the review. I am a little concerned about the straps but for the price this seems like quite a deal.

I'm sure the straps would last for a long time...I just do all my own leather work, so I'm probably hypercritical.
