Well it has arrived, my Stillwater Wool Heavyweight Black Watch tartan kilt.

Let us start with the weight, up close you can see that the wool is the same weight as the old Army Winter weight uniform material and is heavier that the wool in a set of dress blues.
I would have to rate it as medium-heavy. You guys were right and I was wrong. This is not a tank by any streach of the imaginiation. The wool is ultra soft and the hang is just right, thus it looks and feels great. I am happy with the compromise, best of both worlds. The look of the wool is rich in color with a soft flat finish.

The leather straps are of fair quality as are the buckles. When I move the buckles because of my constantly up and down sizing belly I will replace them untill then, they will do.

The size is dead on the size marked 46" adjustable out to 48". With Winter clothes on I will not have to move the straps. I ordered the kilt 3" oversize but neglected to figure in t-shirt and a heavy shirt so by a happy accident it fits perfectly out of the box.

The Kilt is pleated to the Sett and is just gorgeous.

The bottom edge of the material is perfect.

I bought some other stuff to go with the kilt because my other accessories are in storage.

The black leather sporran is okay for the price of $16.50.

The "Economy Sword Kilt Pin" is actually very nice for the price of $5.75. Try buying one at a "Celtic Gift Shop" and you will see what I mean.

I bought a Leather sporran strap and it is very nice for the $10.95 price and it goes well with the kilt buckles. It is adveritized at 45 inches, I would say 46" actually.

The kilt hose have a fancy top are a pale cream color that is pleasing to the eye. I just wish there were more colors available. The material is 25% wool,25% acrylic, 20% nylon, 30% polyester and feel like cotton to the touch.

The Black Watch flashes are just right, not too stiff nor too flimsy and they look good.

Total damages: $189.05
