The first kilt

[switchblade5984]

go standard you'll be much happier! hoping to get a stillwater in the next few weeks!

[Graham]

so what brought on the sudden desire to wear a kilt? I wish more people would do that!

[Southern Breeze]

First off, welcome. The Stillwater standerds are a good start if your on a budget. For cooler weather go with the Heavyweights.Stillwaters come in only one length so you may have to hem it up,which isn't all that hard. Before you commit yourself to one brand, check with the other kiltmakers that advertise here at X-Marks.They may be out of your price range,but you'll have an idea of whats availible.

Welcome to X-Marks. Definitely go with the Standard. Right now SWK has some end of the year prices. You can get a kilt, shipped for less than $70. I own two and they are a great alternative to wool. Although, once you wear one for a while, you'll want to save up for the real thing. They are inexpensive steps to a traditional - a gateway, if you will.

Welcome, and am glad that you have the sudden impulse to be kilted. Stick with the standard.

[davedove]

I'll have to echo what been said here. The Stillwater Standard is a great starter kilt, not expensive and looks good. I have four of them myself. You will find, however, that after wearing them, you will want to save up for a traditional.

Oh, and welcome aboard!

Welcome Johannes! I will just confirm what others have said. One of my first 2 kilts was a SWK Standard. I would say it is the lowest weight anc construction you would want to go. Now that I know more, I would probably only get their HW. I still enjoy wearing my SWK standard, just recognize the construction and quality versus their HW or one of the other makers.

Welcome, Johannes. I hope you are happy with whatever you get.
