Just received, a few days ago, my own eBay Blackwatch from the same seller...
Overall, I guess I'm okay with the kilt -- the fabric's nice stuff, the colors are great. But the construction isn't exactly the finest in all the land: the front apron doesn't have a centered center stripe, the front turnover is nearly non-existent (the back apron doesn't have one at all), there's no a-line to the left of the front apron, the front apron just barely wraps around enough, and the front lining has unsightly stitching right across the upper-middle of the apron.
Others have reported a hem on theirs, mine is without, with a rather rough bottom edge, but at 23.5" it's too short to put one in.
For 50 bucks, it's hard to complain too much, I suppose. This one'll be my night-at-a-crowded bar kilt; won't have to worry about it too much.
Not really worth the hassle of sending back, but others might be better off spending that little bit more for a known top-quality knock around. Too bad, really, with a bit more care in the making this could've been a great kilt (might take a bit more fabric for that, npi).
