Freedom Kilts reviews a Stillwater

[turpin]

Reveal is the amount of pleat showing across the back, generally measured at the bottom of the fell. in a well-made and well-pressed pleat that hangs properly the reveal should be of uniform width from the fell to the selvedge. Here is a good example, IMO. Notice how the stripe is centered in the reveal all the way down.

Great review. Definitely the most detailed review I have seen of a Stillwater and I like detail.

A question for anyone with the wool heavyweights. Are the pleats and aprons on the heavyweight kilts formed any better, ie. straighter, more consistent size? Or do they also need to be re-pressed on delivery. My ironing skills are non-existent (don't recall ever picking up an iron.)

Also, relating to pilling, are acrylic and polyester related in any way?

Yes, Acrylic an Polyester are exactly the same thing. Man-made fibres from which kilts can be made.

Just as Cows and Camels are the same. Both quadrupedal ruminants who's name begins with C.
