SWK Economy Kilt Review

**Birddog** · 14th July 08, 04:41 PM

Since I am looking to pick up a gently used Economy, and I have never done anything but combat stitching, I would love ALOT more pictures of those who have modified the fell on these.
Seems to me someone said trying to do this with a sport kilt is a bad idea?

I don't know how much more difficult or risky that would be, but since they will do it for you for a few extra bucks,I don't see the need.

I tried that, too! The Sport Kilt is sort of the opposite of the SWK economy. Its pleats are straight, but it's gathered at the waist.

They will sew down the pleats, still straight (no taper) but it looks pretty nice that way. At the very end of the thread I linked above, theres a pic of a SK with the pleats sewn. Up top is one I sewed, trying to taper toward the waist.
