    They look better in real life than the pictures lead you to believe. I've been wearing mine off and on for about a year.

    I think the 22 oz. was--as mentioned earlier--on old standard. Not sure, but I know this is some heavy stuff. The stitching looks good and the creases are sharp.

    It's obviously not a well-tailored, custom made kilt from Kinloch Anderson, but it's a very good kilt in real wool at a modest price. And, again, You're not likely to ever wear it out.

    And, they have lots of sizes for immediate shipment. I don't have any vested interest in the place, but it's a great alternative.

    Regimental kilts are well tailored, hand made and to a standard hardly below Kinloch Anderson. Kinloch Anderson, in fact, have been MOD contractors (for both kilts and sporrans).

    but it's a very good kilt in real wool at a modest price. And, again, You're not likely to ever wear it out.
    The price seems quite modest. I just don't quite know what cloth they are using. Using the "current" regimental cloth alone the materials retail for over $200 USD.

    And, they have lots of sizes for immediate shipment.
    Not even the Army supply depots (following the news) have kilts for immediate shipment.
