Review: Stillwater Thrifty Kilt

**BAM_Belegarth** · 5th August 07, 03:21 PM

I got my Irish National tartan in about a week ago, and could not be happier with the purchase. I too wish for more velcro in the front for better adjusting, but since I work with a little bit of leather, I will most like add some strap to the side of the kilt to make up for the lack of velcro. I have been buying from SportKilt for some time now, and so do my friends. But since we need a couple of kilts a day at events, it makes more since to go with a cheaper kilt, and since we actually fight in ours....they tend not to last as long..lol

Just ordered my Stillwater Black Watch economy kilt.
Can't wait... this will be my 2nd kilt.

I'm hooked!

Oh, great... 1st motorcycles, then aircraft, computers, skydiving... now this.
Thank goodness for a great wife, who shares my love of life.

I received my SWK Thrifty MacLaren yesterday in the mail. Would have been here sooner, but I mistakingly put my home zip code in for the shipping address of my office, so there was a small delay. I'm loving the kilt. Only down side is having to iron out the creases it gained from being shipping through Texas at 100 degrees outside. One of the pleats is creased in half, and one big crease down the front apron, but there is nothing Jerry could have done to prevent that. I'll break out the iron tonight and take care of it.

Overall I'm very pleased. Enjoy!

I ordered an economy. I'm considering ordering a thrifty, just to see what the real difference in quality is. I may also order a standard for the same reason.

No doubt the SWK are favored around here, but it seems the shipping has everyone baffled. I suspect Jerry has successfully used rifts in the space-time continuim to his advantage. Jonesing has a limited shelf-life if you order from SWK's.

or maybe Jerry's utilizing a shipping method perfected by Orwell:

Whatever he uses, Jerry's delivery speed is awesome! I'm a total fan!

I am definitely considering getting one of these in a few weeks (when I finally have a bit of spending money) as it might just be worth it to have one cheap kilt until I finish getting back into shape. And after that, it shouldn't be too hard to make it fit again. And even if I can't, it's cheap.

It doesn't quite match my tastes the way a UK does, but you know how it goes, what with the beggars and the choosers and the one not being the other.
