eBay Black Watch Review

[Tartan Hiker]

I'd replace the straps as I mentioned in my review before I headed into the boonies, otherwise I'm sure it'd hold up just fine.

I"m 38" at the navel, and the 38" kilt at that height is tightened to the center hole on the straps, so I'd say their sizing is dead on. I'm 6'3" and that brings the hem to the center of my knee.

hehehe,... definitely I'll give a look on that, after ur report,... it sounds good!even when i still have to decide if I go for a black watch or try to look for 6 people interested in having one in my tartan... :rolleyes:

If quality is as good as u said,... 100$ will not be expensive for an extremely rare tartan kilt!

¡Salud!

This is soooo tempting...I wish that they had some other tartans available, though...they mention MacLean and if they had Hunting MacLean, I'd jump on it in a minnit. I am trying so hard to be virtuous and save up for a somewhat more "major" kilt purchase......

I had sent a message requesting availability of 3 tartans in my size; a MacDonald, a BW and a Pride of Scotland.

He has the first 2 in-stock and said if he could get orders for 10 or more Pride of Scotpland kilts, he could get me one ASAP. So, if anyone else is interested in a $50-$60 Pride of Scotland wool-blend tartan kilt from this guy, shoot him an e-mail: starry@starrynightrecords.com His kilts are featured on eBay at: http://stores.ebay.com/StarryNightRe...Kilts-Sporrans

I'll post this in another thread too, to try to generate some interest.

Same goes if you have another tartan in mind... see if you can get 10+ people to request that tartan and see what he can do!

Hey Mark, you must have emailed via ebay. I emailed on their website and its now ten days with no response.

Asked about the Ottawa tartan they advertise. Guess they don't want to sell any or sold out.

Not very sales oriented to ignore buying questions.

Don't think I'd buy from them now at all. If they'd ignore a buying email they'd sure ignore any emails with problems.

The test drive -- I wore the kilt to class tonight with much praise from my students. Throughout the evening it stayed well in place, no bunching beneath the sporran or shifting of the aprons. The mass of material in the rear provides bodacious swing. All in all a very comfortable kilt. I had planned to have one of my students photograph me in the classroom, but the camera’s memory card decided that tonight was the night to die. I will submit some photos when this problem is resolved.

The bottom line – I paid $50 for the kilt, plus $10 shipping, making it cheaper than many of the other budget lines. For the money spent I am very pleased. My only major complaint is the straps, which are easily replaced. I will be ordering at least one more in MacDonald for my son, and perhaps another MacDonald for myself.

I would have to say that if you are looking for a mid-weight kilt that you can use where you’d fear to take your heirloom-quality kilt, this is a very good deal.

I received my Blackwatch from them on Saturday..

It's my first tartan kilt so I really didn't have anything to compare it to, but I will say that it was VERY comfortable and I've worn it a couple of times since it came. I definitely plan on getting another from these guys.
