    I had a quick look at some of the detailed photos on their website. From what I could see, the fabric looked fuzzy, the selvedge had fuzz hanging off of it, it appeared to be a plain weave rather than twill fabric, the line of the tartan was quite uneven and I didn't see signs of a fringed apron. Perhaps my eyes deceive... but these look roughly the quality of Sportkilts - if that.

    I was searching through the threads looking for some stuff on KiltMart since they have a shop here in downtown phoenix, az. I can completely avoid the shipping and handling charges and everything else by just walking in and buying what i want and leaving. I have an Irish National Tartan kilt that I don't know who made it because it was a gift, but both of my brothers have bought the MacKenzie from the KiltMart. They seem to have worked great for them as a decent casual kilt, but I wanted to see if there were any more reviews on kiltmart since the last post in this thread was over a year ago, and it's quick and easy for me to go buy a kilt off the shelf at this place. Thoughts???

    Boy, I've been out of town too long! Kiltmart has a store in Phoenix??

    Donde' Esta??!! Guess I could google it up...

    Okay, googled it. I lived in Phoenix for 30 years and detailed the city as a salesman for most of that time and I know the Central and Indian School Rd area well and I never saw a Kiltmart there...I've been up here for six years so they have been there the last 12 years I was in Phoenix. I haunted Central Avenue...boy, I must be blind or they must be tucked away with no retail storefront.

    No worries, you're not blind. There is a pawn shop on Central and Camelback and KiltMart is actually in the back of this PawnShop from what i understand. Both of my brothers have actually been to the shop, I haven't but I'm going to go down there in about a week or two.

    Thanks, that makes sense. I know Central Pawn well.

    So I'm guessing they're not marketing to the walk-in retail trade.
