USA vs Stillwater

[KiltedCodeWarrior]

I currently have a Stillwater standard in Nightstalker and a Sportkilt in Gun Metal Gray and just ordered a philabeg from Rocky (how will I stand the wait, might have to buy another "value" kilt that I can get right away).

Anyway, great summary Jimmie. I would also add that the Sportkilt is a bit light. It doesn't take much of a breeze at all to cause the front apron to flap. Of course, a kilt pin would probably help that. Now I know what I can look to buy today, although I am hoping there will be some Xmarks ones available after Hank gets everyone else's shipped.

Scotty, you're right about the washings. I learned LONG ago not to put a kilt in a machine. Certain fabrics will "ball-up" and wear thin with the agitation.

Therefore, I hand-wash all my kilts... except for my UtiliKilts which will stand-up to a friggin' sand blasting!

KiltedCodeWarrior, while you're looking for a kilt pin, take the time to examine your interests and search for something that expresses them. I was at the "House of Blues" in Atlantic City last Friday and found a nice, heavy guitar-shaped pin with the HoB logo on it. Great weight for a kilt pin! I was as an Irish Festival the week before, and found an Irish Harp pin that works GREAT on my Irish National. I've also been known to wear my Elvis "TCB" Lightning bolt pin on my solid black kilt.

Get out there and find a statement!

Jimmie,

I plan on it! Getting the Xmarks pin is just an easy decision and hopefully I can get one some time soon while I look for the pin that expresses my personality and attitude.

And on a related note, I think my avatar needs to change. It was cool when I picked it because the numbers under the hood kept changing, a la the Matrix, but that doesn't show up here. I am feeling like it is too "dark" for me. I am a very upbeat person. Need to go search.

Yes, if the wind is blowing, the sport kilts can rise up, A kilt pin helps.
so a heavier fabric is a good idea. I was thinking of tacking in the weights that they use to keep drapes down to the bottom hem of my sportkilt. (Just a thought.) Richland
