New Stillwater Kilt arrived!

[ardchoille]

When I returned home from shopping today I was greeted by two boxes from Stillwater Kilts. Here is my review.

Standard Kilt- Nightstalker Tartan
1. Tack down stitching was still in the kilt. I feel that the customer shouldn't have to deal with this. I have received several kilts from The Scotland Yard and they always remove the tacking before shipping the kilt.. and the pleats don't suffer from this.

2. Upon putting the kilt on I found that the buckles are misaligned. The lower buckle, in the first hole, leaves some of the material bunched up between the buckle and the strap. The other two buckles are strapped to the same hole and don't bunch up the material.

3. About a half inch of the under apron is visible below the outer apron (sag?) and I see no way to fix this other than hemming the under apron.

4. The back of the waist area seems to have double the amount of material in it and it became very hot in the hour I wore the kilt.

5. This kilt needs to be hemmed two inches before I can wear it but I'm not going to bother because I will never wear this kilt.

6. The Economy Kilt Pin I received was already tarnished and some buffing did not fix this. I can't use this pin.

Customer service: A+
Product quality: F
Would I buy this again: No

I'm sorry to say this, but I can't believe xmarks members settle for this kind of junk.

The Buzz Kidder Ribbed Sporran I received, on the other hand, is excellent. It's roomy and I like the belt loops on the back. I would definitely buy this item again.
