    I dunno...the Gordon one looks pretty neat...I already have a Gordon in a wool blend (a Stillwater "special", as a matter of fact) but it's pleated to the sett and the Gordon Economy is pleated to the stripe...and it would be a knockaround kilt.

    Funny about the Wallace, though, a buddy of mine is of the opinion that if he were to get a kilt, it would have to be a RED one so that it would be clear to people that it was, indeed, a KILT and not a SKIRT. Where this guy ever got this idea...?

    I have heard that the quality of the Stillwater Eco's has been kicked up a notch...obviously not as cool as the Standards but better than the average economy kilt.

    Best

    Yes, he did.

    I'd go with Irish nat or Black Watch but it all depends on yr colouring/what your into as mentioned before. What have you got already? Are you after a contrasting kilt to that? Let me be that cat amongst the pigeons and suggest the saffron! Good luck.

    The saffron is on my wish list as well.

    my vote is for the BW
    I also think Black watch should be in every kilted man's closet
    I'm an 18th century guy born into the 20th century and have been dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

    This would make Kilt Numero Uno for me.

    Acutally if I was to get any kilt from SWK based solely on looks, the Black Stewart gets my vote. I really like the pattern .. but they only come in Standard.

    Of the ones you chose, I think I'd go with Black Watch over Wallace. It's a bit more subtle for a first kilt. That's one of the reasons I chose it.

    Why not just grab two or even all three. Hey for $45 a kilt, it works out to about $130 for 3 kilts. I have heard better things about the standard than the econo, but the econo looks like a good starter. Based on Cavscout's logic though, why not have a good look at the Leatherneck tartan in the econo.

    I like the Black Watch the best, with the Irish National a close second.
