Has anyone any experience with the Buzz Kidder Black Watch poly kilts? I noticed them and thought they might be worth a look. If no one else has any feedback, I'll probably have to go to San Antonio sometime soon and pick one up.

What say ye all?

For the price I would be very interested in a good solid review....I'm sure there are people here who are also interested.


It does seem that the kilt market is getting flooded with Black Watch tartan kilts of all designs and fabrics...

if it is half as good as their sporrans then should be great

I like that they provide some background on the tartan, but 10oz in rayon sounds really light weight to me.

Buzz sent me a swatch of the material when he was looking into starting his tartan line about a year and a half ago. I didn't want to purchase any of the material from him, because we were moving toward an "all PV" lineup for our Casual and Semi Trad. The material WASN'T BAD, but it wasn't great. The weight was "acceptable". It wasn't as heavy as PV, but was definitely heavier than SK material.

In the interest of science (as I explained it to my wife) I started to order a Buzz Kidder Black Watch tartan. I said, "Sure, it costs the same as a USAK casual, but in the interest of science and so forth, I'm willing to take the plunge. . . "

So I started to order one.

Shipping changed my mind. 109 for the kilt, plus TWENTY ONE DOLLARS for USPS delivery. Buzz Kidder is in San Antonio, I'm in Houston.

USA Kilts have delivery price built into the purchase price, and they're (to say the least) a very decent casual/contemporary.

So fiddle dee dee, says I. Next time I'm in San Antonio, whether sporting the family around the Riverwalk or dropping off a pistola with Alex Hamilton for some work, I'll figger in a little extra time and go by the BK shop, and look into their canvas line. For the "extra summer kilt" I'm in need of, I think I'll go with Rocky at USAK.

All the best, y'all.
