    Arrggghhh.....

    Why couldn't I be just a few inches shorter? I know for most people SWKs are just a wee bit too long, but they're too darned short on my 6'5" long legged frame!

    My USAK casual is 24" in total length and that's cool for that particular style, but the SWKs are meant to be worn higher up, and that's where I like 'em.

    I'm with Ron. Custom lengths, Jerry, even if it ends up costing a bit more, I'll pay!

    I can't say I am one that will be ordering from Stillwater anytime soon, but man is that a nice looking saffron kilt. Too bad he wasn't offering these a month ago.

    Angerli, No, it really is scottishkilts.net. Several of us have ordered the Irish American from them recently.

    The SWK Saffron is beautiful. Alas as others have said - Stillwaters are too long for me.

    That's a nice kilt! And it may be just what I've been looking for for a forge kilt. I can wear SWKs at the top of the knee, but it would be easy to wear it lower. Problem is, I don't have the money

    I've never considered a saffron kilt, but that is very nice!

    Here's to hoping the length works on me. My UK's are 21.5" and are the perfect length, in fact, they could be a half-inch to inch longer and still not clear the bottom of the knee when I wear them low like my jeans. Hopefully, when I pull this one up over my gut it will be about perfect.

    Paco, we wear the same length UK and the Stillwater fits me perfect when I wear it up high like you are supposed to.
