Talk me out of it!

[Livingston]

Nope....I think you should send it to me

[Panache]

So I've been browsing Stillwater Kilts a lot recently, and have been fancying (sp?) a heavyweight saffron Irish kilt for awhile (yes, I'm Irish)...apparently, they have a "shadow tartan" than can only be seen in the sun. Anyways, I've got a small package set up that includes the kilt, fly plaid, brooch, kilt pin, belt, and sporran. All of that is about $300 (includes shipping). I think that is an amazing price , but if there is any reason why I should be wary of Stillwater, let me know. :confused:

Thank you for your advice and guidance.

I love my Black Shadow Tartan Heavyweight and think it's a very good value for the money. If I may humbly make a suggestion though. I would skip the fly plaid and brooch (unless you have a dress jacket and vest already and a lot of formal events to go to). Instead of the fly plaid and brooch, buy a Stillwater Standard Irish National. You get two kilt outfits instead of formal gear you will likely find that you don't need*.

Cheers

*I speak from experience, when I ordered my first Tartan Kilt I also bought a fly plaid and brooch. The brooch now adorns my glengarry and my flyplaid is folded up neatly in a drawer (very seldom worn).

you're getting a new kilt...so, here is my question...

what exactly are you wanting us to talk you out of?

[GMan]

After much consideration and thought I find no reason to talk you out of it, but to go for it. You will not be disappointed.

[David Dalglish]

Go for it

Only a question for those with stillwaters and a heads up before you send in the order.

Isn't the sizing on Stillwaters a little off? Meaning that it sound slike people have ordered one size smaller usually for the perfect fit. I could be wrong though. Anyone?

Colin,

I have a 35" waist and went with the size 36" Standard and Heavyweight. I do have to cinch them up to the last hole on the buckles but I think they fit just fine. After dieting and exercising for months I thought I was far more likely to gain an inch than to lose an inch.

It's been my experiance that those who are ordering a differant size are doing so because of weight gain or loss.

Nope, not going to do it.....

You just go right ahead & buy it!

Stillwater kilts are a fine value and the service is excellent. Panache offered a good suggestion regarding a fly and broach. I would go for the kilt and sporran as a start and add as you determine where you will wear the kilt. You may already have a perfectly fine wide belt, heavy boots and socks to scrunch down. The money saved would be a nice start for a second kilt.
