Sportkilt Stocks the California Tartan

**CameronTaylor** · 18th April 06, 11:35 AM

Hey Alan; Amber and my kilts in the Cali will be here in three weeks or less (premier line of course) and I'll post pics with a review.
I saw their regular line Calis last week with the US Army tartan a few others, nice nice kilts but I have to have straps and buckles now.
Plus the black one I'll have next friday night ....

The light weght doesn't bother me, but the elastic waistband does!!

Aside from that, Hmmmm.

None of mine will have an elastic waistband.

CT - call upon the James and ask.

Jeez, I'm with you Alan....wasn't gonna order any more SportKilts...but a California tartan...hmmm.

But I'm confused by the option. Am I hearing it right James will do a SportKilt without elastic??

Am I hearing right that USAKilts offers kilts in the California tartan?

I'm so confused....can it be....."kilt poisoning?" The inability to think about anything else, yet still not understand what other kilted folks are talking about.....what branch of Hell have I descended into.....???

We DO have access to the California tartan in 16 oz wool.

It makes a nice "5 Yard Wool Kilt" for $350. If you don't know, our "5 yard wool kilt" is basically our Semi Traditional Model, but in wool. It's great for the guys in hotter climates who want wool, but don't want to sweat all day b/c of it. 5 yards keeps it pretty light, yet not TOO light that it lifts in every breeze. Let me know if you're interested!

Oh man, I didn't need to know that. Or, maybe I did.

I've been thinking that of any besides Blackwatch and such, I could go with the California tartan. I'm sixth generation Californian. ;)

I would not even be tempted. I bought a SportKilt in desert camo at the Highland Games in Pleasanton last year and it was a HUGE dissapointment. It does not lay right, the fabric will not hold a pleat and the elastic waistband really, really sucks! I guess the price is what sucked me in and I figured I'd keep it just to wear around the house or do yard work, etc... Baaahhh! Big mistake. I don't even count it as a true kilt in my collection. It is crap.
