Review: Stillwater Thrifty Kilt

**ChromeScholar** · 18th September 07, 09:30 PM

I"m wearing an SWK Thrifty in Black Stewart right now. If I was going to any sort of kilt function, though, I would probably wear my SWK Standard.

We really like to thrifty kilts from SWK. We have 2. Here is my son in the Wallace.

Sorry for the size...

I ordered my thrifty on Wed, received it on Saturday, wore it Saturday night

GREAT quality for they newly kilted, as well as someone looking for a "knock around" kilt!
I will definitely be buying another from them!
I truly can't say enough good about Jerry's shipping, it's the stuff of legends.

Update: Ordered my second Tuesday, should be here tomorrow.. Am currently looking at a heavyweight (after all, winter is coming!)

You know... if SOMEONE were to start a thread for Jerry that would come to some majoritive concensus on one or two HIGHLY SOUGHT tartans... he might just hear you!
(Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge)

To this point, he's been so kind as to provide the authentic Irish National Tartan, all green, all black, saffron, and Leatherneck. He's also improved the product immensely with the quality of the heavy-weights, and improved the affordability with the "Thrifty".

It's REAL obvious that the man reads and acts on the market. You guys all have a WONDERFUL forum to express your wants, and have them understood!

Consider XMarks your lamp and Jerry's the genie!
(Personally I would prefer Barbara Eden)

I'd kind of like to see something less based on the Black Watch tartan. Maybe something with more blue or purple -- warrior, or American National or something.

Two of the nicest tartans with purples in them that I like are the Isle of Sky and New Hampshire State tartans. Both are quite gorgeous.

Sounds like you got good value for money.

My understanding is that IoS is a proprietary tartan, and it wouldn't surprise me if New Hampshire was, as well.

I'd love to see IOS, but barring that, how about Macpherson?

Well despite saying in my introduction that my first kilt was going to be a "Newsome." After a couple weeks here at XMTS and waiting for swatches to arrive, I just couldn't take it any more. I clicked on over to SWK and purchased an Irish National, thrifty. I really did not expect to see it until next week but here it is, less than two whole days. Woo Hoo! I am pretty excited to have my first kilt! I think I might wear it on a day hike next week for my first outside, cuz I know I'll be wearing it around the house before then. My Fiance was feeling a little left out of all the new fun, so she got a Black Watch to wear around the house. ;) Hats off to Jerry and the Space Time Teleportor.
