If you will compare the photos on the site with those on Jerry's site, Stillwater Kilts, (see the advertisers) I think you will agree that they are the same.
That would lead us to believe that this company is re-selling the same kilts.

Off the peg kilts, made from acrylic fabric, in Pakistan.

If you are looking for a good starter kilts that won't overwork your wallet I would go with Jerry. Why have something shipped from Australia when you can get it from Minneapolis. Plus Jerry's reputation is as solid as you get and his shipping time is legendary.

Thanks. I was trying to think where I had seen them before. Couldn't agree with you more.

They do offer more tartan options though. I do like that Celtic Spirit Tartan...

They seem to be a good source for accessories if you're in need of some economy items.

Only problem with this is that these guys have a way better selection of tartans. I like some of the ones I see. Only drawback to these guys is that they use acrylic, and I have cats, so I hate acrylic.

I bought a kilt from them because they had my clan's tartan; Galbraith. Let me say, I am very pleased with doing business with them. I did it through ebay, cause that is how I found them. First off, they are based in Australia, so shipping will be expensive. However, if they have a tartan you desire, it might be worth it. Another thing, I think they have the same unladen swallows that Jerry at SWK uses. My kilt arrived in one week from Aussie land to Florida.

Secondly, their communication is top notch. Every email got replied to and every question answered. But let's be honest here, you want to know about the kilts. The kilt is nice acrylic fabric with three leather straps and the normal 24" length. It hangs very well and has a nice "swoosh" to it. The one I ordered only had one row of fringe, but it was adequate as it was very thick. Perhaps it was a double fringe, but layered directly on top of each other. I may need to check on that.

I had two complaints. One is that the left side of the apron was not tapered. It is straight, which, actually, didn't look that bad once it was on. I am used to SWK's curl, which sometimes appears as a taper. But this one doesn't have it. It is simply a straight pleat. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, just different.

The second complaint, which once again isn't that big of a deal, was the sizing. I bought a 34, as I do the SWKs. Well, the 34 here was tighter. When laid out on top of my SWKs, there was noticeably less size in the waist. Yet, when measured (by the diagram they sent me based on hole on the strap to the slot in the kilt), it came to 34". Weird eh? I chalk this up to the simple aspect that different manufacturers manufacture things differently. That seems a bit redundant, but I am sure what you all know what I am getting at. But like I said, this isn't really a complaint as it does fit nicely. My mother said this one actually looks better on me as it looks slimmer. I'm guessing because of the less material and absent padding. Regardless, I am happy with it. Keep in mind this is a casual kilt.

It will not have as many pleats as a SWK Standard. It is lightweight. It's acrylic. But it is nice. I would certainly buy from them again if they had a tartan I could not find anywhere else. I like the look and the feel of it. And the best part of all, is I finally have a kilt with my clan's tartan and I didn't have to break the bank to get it. If there is a tartan they offer that you cannot find anywhere else, my recommendation would be to go for it.
