StillWater Kilts?

The customer service is better than any I recieved. Earlier today I ordered a SWK Nightstalker Standard (acrylic) kilt, and then abruptly realized I put it on the wrong credit card. If it had gone through, this would have been a huge issue, but within an HOUR of me sending an e-mail explaining the situation, Jerry had e-mailed me back. He immediately rectified the issue and even gave me a handy link to click to finish the new order from the credit card screen onward.

As far as the kilts, I only have one of their incredibly inexpensive "thrifty" models, and to tell you the truth if the pleats were sewn down and it had belt loops, I'd prefer it to my much more expensive SportKilt.

I've got one of their standards on the way and it's almost assured that my first wool kilt will be from them. They're fantastic.

I have 3 acrylic and one wool from SWK. Truth is, I will never buy another acrylic. It's like wearing a fleece blanket all day. It doesn't breathe well and my legs end up really sweaty. On the other hand, I adore my wool kilt. As Ted said, it ain't a fine hand tailored garment, but it sure is warm, comfortable, and good looking. I will be buying their saffron when I manage to get the cash together. You hear the saying "You get what you pay for." With SWK, you get that, and much more. I personally think the SWK heavies are a killer value and you can't go wrong with them, especially for the price.

In answer to the question of how they hold up- that's part of the reason I won't get another acrylic. They're a very loose weave, I have cats, and they snag on everything!! The material also pills like crazy. My wool, on the other hand, is 14 months old and looks as good now as it did the day I got it.

Oh, and by the way- WELCOME!!

I have a Stillwagter heavyweight. For me, it is great for winter and a little warm for summer As far as how it wears, it's wool so that should be fine. For the most part, I haven't gotten anything on either kilt I have that has done any damage at all. My lightweight, 11oz, wool kilt I've had for about 5 years.
