    Anyone who can be a Marine, walk away from a destructive addiction, and to top things off finally stand up in a kilt and give a serious presenation to a bunch of at risk High School kids shouldn't be thwarted by a couple inches of tartan.

    You have been grumbling about the Stillwater lengths since I joined, it's time for you to do something about it!

    Will Ron find a tailor? Will the infamous Riverkilt-Stillwater feud come to an end? Will Riverkilt give Panache the pummeling of his life for his annoying post? Stay tuned true believers...


    Cheers
    I have to agree with Panache, Ron. For the $44 it cost for a Stillwater economy, is it not worth just checking out the fit. It's acylic and you may be able to hem it yourself (or any friends) with some basic sewing or it may fit alright from the get go. It's acrylic not $60/yard wool so who cares if it doesn't look like Hector Russel did it up. You'll never know until you try. For $50 it's probably worth the attempt.

    By all means get the Leatherneck traditional in the future, but give stillwater a shot. That way you will know for sure it they are an option for the future or not. Look what happened when you finally decided to order a USA Kilt. How many do you have now?

    Do it myself!!?? I guess blood on a Leatherneck kilt would be appropriate...

    I get off work early today (thanks boss) will put a tape to my belly when I get home and try one of these puppies. Checked the site and they have a few left in my size range.
