Frugal Corner Review 13 & 16 oz.

**Shriner** · 13th June 07, 02:46 PM

OK, here we go.. After waiting a couple of week for my check to reach mark and for my kilts to arrive. They were here this afternoon when I got home from work. It was just like Christmas...

I will start with the 13 oz. Kilt in Wallace Tartan size 44. It has 20 pleats, 1" wide and 3 3/4" Deep. It also includes three 1" belts and buckets. The price was $45.00.

The 16 oz. Kilt in Hunting Stewart Tartan size 44. It has 33 pleats, 7/8" wide and 3 3/4" Deep. It also includes three 1 1/2" belts and buckets. The price was $68.00.

I am going to make this short because I have a meeting to night shortly. I love the 16 oz it feels great and hangs very nice. For the $23.00 difference go for the 16 oz. But if you are on a budget the 13 oz is quite a deal at $ 45.00. But I prefer the 16 oz becuase it has the 8" sewn down pleats. Large hardware.

I am wearing the 16 oz. out tonight and will post pics later. If, as we say in Florida "ya'll" have any question please post and I will be happy to reply later. I also got a sporran, I will save it for another thread. Thanks Mark !!

There I am tonight with my daughter Shirley. I am very happy with this 16 oz kilt from Frugal Corner. I plan to wear it Saturday for a masonic funeral with my Prince Charlie, will post pics then. I think after this purchase my MacQueen tank is only going to be used for Shrine events only. But next time I will spend the $13.00 difference on a custom 16 oz Kilt if I think I wait.

The little dog is penny, who has a broken leg and if she doesn't stop getting into stuff. I think she will make a good sporran.. What do you think????

Just send me a PM.

Thanks for the review.

I think I've made up my mind that my next kilt will be from the Frugal Corner. Now I just need to decide on a tartan.

I agree that the 16 oz. kilt (mine is a hunting Stewart too) is nice, but to me, it's a knock-around kilt. Bear in mind, however, that the rest of my kilts are tanks, with a SWK heavyweight exception.

I wish the lining was sewn down at the bottom in the 16 oz. kilts. It just hangs down, which causes it to ride up sometimes...
