    The Weathered Lamont

    I kept waffeling between this saffron and the Weathered Lamont and finally opted for the later. It arrived yesterday and is my first wool kilt. I really love it, but it seems to be about a half inch longer than the standard SWK's that I own, so I have to wear it a bit higher up.
    I think any kilts I order in the future will just have to be wool. It's pretty awesome.

    Does anyone have both of these? I have the W.L., and I'm interested to know how the relative weight of the fabrics compare.

    What a perfect vehicle to ride around in while wearing a saffron kilt.

    Is there anyone else that is staring at the mini moke and can't stop thinking of the "The Village" from the TV show the Prisoner?

    I love the looks of the Saffron kilt... I shall have one eventually.

    Jerry needs to also produce an economy version. I have this "master plan" of buying a few of Jerry's heavy kilts for "dress" and his economy kilts for "casual" or every day.

    Iolaus,

    I have both the Weather Lamont and the Irish Saffron. To me they feel the same weight. I think they are both 13 oz. I noticed that the Lamont is about an inch longer for some reason. It's the longest of all my SWKs.

    Saffron Kilt Pic Please!

    Hey NewKilt and Bjcustard, how about some pics of the SW Saffron Kilt?

    The photo from the SW site is great, but I'd really like to see more of it.

    It's pushing its way up to the top of my list and it might just make it if it looks as good in a real picture as it does in the store site.

    Please??

    Tom

    I'll post some pics tonight if no one else does first. The picture on the site is pretty representative as far as color and construction, but doesn't show the shadow tartan pattern (also, the kilt has no apparent slimming effect, meaning when I wear it, I don't look skinny). Keep in mind that if this is the same weight as other SWK "heavyweights," it's no tank. The fabric is solid and nice, but pretty light weight.
