Has anyone tried to cut away the extra fabric on a SWK? I am about to embark on a major kilt proselytizing effort and would love to be able to recommend them as an alternative to buying used or saving up for a MTM.

Are there other economy (traditional) kilts available broadly that compare favorably? I have had good luck with the secondary market and I personally do not object to PV, but I am always ready to hear about a decent wool kilt at a discounted price.
