    Thumbs up A second reply to the SWK thread.

    As I mentioned, I have the solid black SWK. I am 5'8" and like the kilt at top of knee cap height. I took my kilt to a tailoress (lady tailor) and said,"Do not cut the material but make it 21.5 inches." She did a great job for $14.00 and that meas I have spent 44 plus 14 (58$) for a really nice kilt.

    I ordered two SWK before the holiday season (my first real tartans truth be told) and have been nothing but impressed. The shipping was lighting fast (three days I think) and the quality for the price is fantastic. I have a nightstalker tartan casual that is quite nice and a Royal Stewart that is my "Christmas Kilt" and will continue to be. I wore it to my Gf's holiday party and was pleasantly surprised to see her senior partner in a plaid jacket of the same Tartan. He and I became instant friends and he still asks about me when he sees her around the office.

    I am short of stature (five foot six or seven depending on the tape) and I took mine to a tailor down the block. She charged me 20 dollars a kilt for hemming, and I considered it cheap considering the prices of NYC.

    I can only recommend these kilts as a formal but economical compromise. They are plenty warm, plenty "swishy" if you know what I mean and they stand up to a daily commute and subways well.

    I only wish that there were more tartans available, 'cause at 100 per kilt all in I would "collect them all."

    Merry Christmas Y'all
