Any experience with...

I think we should remember that the Scots are frugal people not cheap people. Frugal meaning buy one quality product that will last a life time and never need replacing. We, in North America, have been walmart-ized into the thought process of buy more of the cheaper version and just replace it with a new one in a year or two when the old one wears out. Quality over quanity is frugal not cheap.

So I allready had the SWK BW and I tried on the Handmade Kilt from Scotland and the only diference I could tell was (and it might be just my body type)slightly lighter weight. They also had some summer weight kilts and the SWK was a little heaver. :confused:
So for my purpose (not a hard core TRADITIONALIST or Piper.) I don't see the need to spend that much money on something that has the Quality I have in the Stillwater Kilt Heavyweight Black Watch Kilt. I also think that the Quality is a Life time thing, OK I am 59, now if I were 30 something. I use to wear Customed wool suits and I know Ouality in apparel.
If I wanted inexpensive I would go with the economy version which I have to Kick about in. I was only posting a review, like Ron saying they are too long for Him. :rolleyes:
