My 2 cents - Both are right and this is a the type of dialog that will make this forum great. The more the kilt makers understand what the wears are looking at/for the better their products will be. The more the kilt makers educated their customers the better consumers we will be. I read arrogcow's review as not critical, but as a an honest observation on a new kilt. Rocky's response was good information to help the consumer to understand the difficulties and unique characteristics of the product.

I'm lucky I can take a nice drive into PA's Amish country visit USA Kilts and finger the kilts most XMTS' can't get to USA Kilts and I can't make it to most of the other kilt makers. This makes honest reviews and discussion by kilt makers important. At the cost of kilts the more I know the better.

Now what I really want is to win the lottery, buy and RV and visit every kilt maker in North America. Once, I have done this twice then I go to Europe and beyond.
