Stillwaters... Why? Why not?

I'm not sure what steeking is... care to fill me in?

Otherwise, I think that's a pretty good run down... The only thing is I'd have to buy nearly 8 of them to equal the price of a good kilt in the tartan I'm thinking of... So I can buy a couple of SWKs for those times when there's no way in hell I'd wear a $600-$800 kilt (and for variety) and keep saving up for that tank...

Thanks for the help guys, I think pending measurements (to confirm whether or not the 24" will work) I'll have to pick up a couple standards... maybe a Black Stewart and a Nightstalker or Irish National should do me just fine...

If the length works for you I can't recommend a SWK wool heavyweight enough. I've got three heavyweight wools and a standard. The standard got eaten by my truck winch and is relegated to shop duty now. The wools are a great looking kilt that can hold it's own in most company. They are great for everyday wear and I've had no problems. I do have hand stitched 8 yard tanks that I reserve for more formal occsions. I can tell the difference but no one else can. O'Neille

Interior construction stitching above the bottom of the fell hidden under the lining at the waist where the bulk of fabric is cut away.

I am a really strict traditionalist when it comes to kilts, and even I love them!!!

Great construction, phenominal price and delivery, and just a great all around product and business. They're a bit lighter than I'm used to (I wear 13-16oz. wool) but still really amazing kilts.

Highly recommended.

A search for "SWK*" yields a bit more.

Yeah, I mentioned that... the forums won't let you search for a word that's 3 letters long or less:

I have a wool heavyweight and I love it. Jerry has great customer service, and the delivery time does not allow for a serious jones to develop (unless of course you happen to live outside the US) A quality product a reasonable price and quick delivery, what more can you ask for?

Getting ready to drop the hammer on an SWK myself...while we're on the subject, can anyone say if they are cut big...small etc?. I seem to remember reading another thread where someone said that they had learned their lesson after buying their first SWK, and bought their second one a size smaller.

So, cut big, or cut small?

Thanks!
