Robert,
Greetings, I have a couple of their kilts, as said before, the light weights are that. On a day with a bit of a breeze they will pick up a bit, but, I've worn them to work and out on the town and they are nice. I have not had any trouble with the heat with them. I have their hunting Stewart in the lighter weight, and have the Confederate Memorial in H/W and their American Celtic in H/W. I'm waiting on the Dress McLeod in H/W. Their customer service is OK, but, it is best to call the store and talk to Mark, the owner, when you place your order. Also, sign up for their newsletter on their website, they will give you events that they will be at, and you can get some very good deals from them at events. I hope this helps a little.

Aye,

Brian

they are good kilts for the price. I am happy with mine- it doesn't compare to my newsome, but I wear it hiking and fishing and its great for that.

To be honest, you would probably save money ordering from SWK. I wouldn't be surprised if the kilts came from the same place. Only real difference would probably be that there kilts might have more fabric which makes them seem heavier. I've always thought the FC kilts are generously priced, which would explain why they can carry so many tartans.

They may come from the same place (SWK and FC), however they are not using the same fabrics.

Agreed. There are reportedly 200 different kiltmakers in the town of Sialkot, Pakistan. There's bound to be some similarity between their products, but I tend to doubt the rumours that FC and SWK kilts come from the same one.
