SWK Weathered Mackenzie standard

[Perldog007]

Well, added another SWK to my Kloset today. I am working on a comprehensive comparision of the various Stillwater kilts from a newbie perspective.

For now let me say that the pics of the Weathered Mackenzie on the SWK site do not do the tartan justice.

My supervisor just walked back to my cage with the USPS box from MN. Once more I am completely blown away by what you get for the buck. This one has really lovely muted green and brown hues, black, white and red stripes. It came with flashes and Jerry threw in a hangar.

Amazingly, it is pleated to the sett, and pleated well. Like DreadBelly posted, I don't think this could have been made in a sweatshop either. The stitching is machine, but very hard to see. The apron has taken a sever ecrease from transit, so this one will go onto the kiltmaking/pressing table at the dog compound b4 the basting comes out.

Anybody looking for an economical weathered tartan kilt might do well to order one of these. Unless you are a big fat , I already got the 52....

Stay tuned for my breakdown of the various models and pics... it is a work in progress. If you are thinking about that weathered Mackenzie tartan standard SWK this kilted man votes for less thinking, more ordering.

Dang! Jerry comes through again.

Looking forward to the pics. Mackenzie is one of my favourite tartans.

AND - I just read in another thread that Macbeth is a sept of MacKenzie



So this one is semi-legit if I get challenged by the kilt police for a DNA swab.

What incredible luck, a quasi family tartan for 80 bucks..... Life is good.

Aye, Doug. I purchased the same which came last week and I am very pleased with the quality and tartan.

i am originally from southwest VA, but lived in and around NOVA for years - graduated FHS in '79. That weathered MacKenzie will go great with the fall countryside in Spotsylvania .. Excellent choice Sir!

There are no tartan police!

Hey Hamish, have you ever compiled a list of your tartans in your masive collection?

[Shriner]

I would like to know how Hamish stores 80 kilts, and would love to see a pics of all 80 together. Hamish your my hero, and I want to be just like you some... I have ten kilts and more on order thanks to Frugal Corner...
