    Difference between them

    I'm looking to get buy another kilt and I see to many options. Its all German to me.
    I'm looking at another wool kilt from USA Kilts in Stewart Black and not sure which one to get.

    I live in Springfield, Oregon not real cold in the winter, it has its days.
    Can someone explain the difference with these different tartans
    Price doesn't scare me much, I ordered the Welsh 8 Yard Wool Dress Cilt from Wales Tartan Centres and should be here in the next couple of days.

    Would like to get another being as good as this or better. The Tartans have different Mills and weight

    Keep in mind you can always order fabric swatches.

    The same tartan made by the different mills have small differences between them, mainly the sett size and the exact coloring. But unless you were comparing them side to side you probably wouldn't notice. 13 or 16oz obviously is about the overall weight of the fabric. Most prefer 16oz because it supposedly 'swishes' better in the pleats. Any mill that USA Kilts buys fabric from will be quality.

    You will not be disappointed with any offerings from USA Kilts. I have four of their kilts thus far and there are two more on the way (should be here for Christmas) that my wife ordered for me when we visited the USAKilts store three weeks ago.

    If you are too busy to laugh, you are too busy.
