Ordered my first kilt (Stillwater thrifty)

I do plan on upgrading down the road. I am just looking for a kilt for home and hiking. Thanks for the suggestions on sporrans and belts!

I ordered one of their New year Economy Kilts -100% Wool! Old kilt worn, and been wearing trews for a few years with a bad knee. Knee better, and their starting the year off right with wool economy kilts seamed like a good deal....

Excellent, did nearly the same package with Stillwater for my first, but with a standard. Sure you'll be quite happy with their quality and services (and planning on your next soon as you put the first one on)

The kilt arrived today. I think it is a good quality, especially for the price!

Last kilt was an acrylic one from two decades ago, and prior, wore a military kilt. My trews are WPG and old military. Not an expert, but for the price, the kilt is a good deal, especially for wool.

It is a lighter wool, but hangs well. I always like a heavy leather for the belts, but still good quality with those. I am happy...

If your talking about the SWK Thrifty, it's not wool and I wouldn't go near any flames with it!

as glen mentioned above, there are two 100% wool kilts listed in the swk economy section--black watch and leatherneck. i received a black watch this week, and it is lighter weight, pakistani, pleats sewn to 8 inches, 24 inch drop. i live in the south, and this i will be able to wear in the summer. this is much nicer than my acrylic knockabouts (plus no fire concerns).
