I am just curious about all these "buy from home" comments, refering to kilts made overseas. I hope to buy a traditional Scottish kilt one day. Is that not overseas? I think that if we looked hard, we would all be very hard pressed to find any product that does not contain parts made overseas, assemble with equipment made overseas, etc. Even companies like Bear and USA Kilts get there tartan fabric from a number of sources (including some likely produced overseas). You've made the perfect reference to offshoring in the computer industry. I think Jerry has done a great job of reading the posts and finding out what kilt wearers are looking for. I am not a Stillwater customer, but who knows what kilts I choose to order in the future.

Thanks you Dread for a great review of your new kilt. It has opened another possiblity for me. Maybe when the kilt is available in more tartans.
