New Stillwater 2006 Irish National

**Jerry** · 26th January 06, 01:35 PM

After my disapointment with the Kiltstore Black kilt (again I say it wasn't their fault) I drowned my sorrows by ordering a Stillwater, 2006 Standard in Irish National. I have to say, this is one great kilt. I'm already planning on a Stillwater heavyweight in their black shadow tartan as soon as it becomes available. Oh yes, I placed my order early Monday morning and had it yesterday afternoon, great service.

PLease forgive cutting off the feet, I was just trying on the kilt and was wearing my slippers instead of proper hose and shoes.

Anyone have an opinion as to the black shirt and either black or off white kilthose with this kilt. The only flashes I have are an antique red, a dark navy and a black set. I'm afraid I am a bit challanged when it comes to color combinations.

Jerry,

Alas I am no fashion maven like Ham, but I do like the look.

Glad you like it. I've had my 2006 Irish National for about a week now. Will be wearing it to our local Irish Pub (Paddy Malone's) either tomorrow or Saturday. Suspect they will give me a free Paddy Malone's T-shirt for wearing it. Will have dinner there plus a pint or two.

Stillwater kilts has to be one of the best deals around. Not a taylor made, but suprisingly good fit, good quality, and great service.

Looks good. Personally I would say go for the black hose. I find that with a black dress shirt and a brighter kilt that the black hose bring the balance back to the outfit where as the lighter colour hose do not. As for flashes, try and see if you can find a swatch or two or the Irish national and make matching flashes (it's really quite simple). If you can't find a swatch, try two colour flashes with the lighter green and maybe a yellow in grosgrain ribbon. I am sure if you do a search in the forum the instructions for making flashes will come back up.

It would sure make a smart looking ensemble.

You look great. I'm not one with a good fashion sense myself, but that outfit looks fine to me! Now I've got another "want" to add to the list. Thanks for the photo!
