Stillwater Economy Kilts

[raibeart_dubh]

I stuck right now because I really want to get another kilt. I have a black Mocker Utilikilt, and a Mackenzie SWK Standard (which I love and wear almost every day I am not at work). Tartan wise, I have been thinking of either a Black Stewart or a Black Watch, leaning a bit more towards the Black Stewart because it is my girlfriends last name and I know she would be thrilled. I was thinking of getting another Standard, and then I saw the new Economy line. They don't make it in Black Stewart though. I was thinking of getting the Economy, but I live in West Michigan, where it can get cold more than warm, and I worry it won't be enough material. If I do choose the Economy, I will surely post a review in comparison to my Standard.

I inspected my old line economies again after I got home today. They are much lighter and thinner than the standards. The pleats on mine are sewn down slightly, just not all the way to where the fell should be. But again for the money they are great knocking about kilts and definitely a step up from the thrifty. They were my first kilts and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for something inexpensive as a first time buyer/wearer of the kilt but wants the bells and whistles. Plus Jerry is fast, no jonesing!

Even for a 3 day wait, I'm jonesing so I can't imagine what some people go through on custom orders.....but I'm sure I'll find out soon

Yeah, I decided I am just going to get another Standard. West Michigan weather is just not nice enough for something as light weight as the Economy. I am still not sure if I am going for the Black Watch or the Black Stewart. All of my co-workers who have seen me in a kilt say to go with the Black Stewart because it would be better on stage. I am leaning a bit more to that one. I think I may discuss it with my girlfriend because it is her family tartan and I want to make sure she is okay with it.
