Greetings, everyone. My first kilt arrived on Saturday. I had just ordered it from Stillwater on Thursday. Thankfully, they had a Standard in the Blackwatch tartan in stock in my size. Here's a picture:



Now for the long story. About a month ago, I ordered two kilts. The first was a tank in the Armstrong Ancient tartan from Alexis Malcolm down in Florida. The second was a Blackwatch from an eBay seller called thumpmusic. That bloke left me positive feedback, and he is known to be slow, so I just waited. Then, out of the blue, I got a notification from PayPal that he had refunded my money. Not a word of explanation. Since my first order, I had been lurking around here, and so learned about Stillwater kilts. I gave them a buzz last Thursday. They were very friendly and helpful, and shipped out my kilt post haste.

I am very, very glad that thumpmusic decided to refund my money. For only $30 more, I was able to buy this wonderful kilt rather than a cheap eBay piece of junk.

Kudos to Stillwater! Now if only they would stock more/different tartans...
