Please, if you think this is not a good choice, let me know why.
Thanks all again,

Well that kilt would not be my first choice for winter wear, and I would not call a Stillwater a Traditional kilt, sorry to burst the bubble but it is a far cry from a traditional kilt, as I own traditional kilts I think I am in a place to direct you somewhat. Of course you get what you pay for and I am only too familiar with a budget, and the constraints that they can put on you, if you want to go with Stillwater I can understand that, you might want to save a little more and go for a heavyweight, as it will give you more warmth than the Standard, as it is wool, and the standard is an acrylic blend.
Just my two cents.

If you're going the Stillwater Route, you might want to look at their wool heavyweights.

Aye, I have the box pleater and the Black Watch HW in my kollection. For winter warmth I think my SWK BWHW will be seeing some wear. The Merino wool in the Black Watch heavyweight is heavier than the others. Subjectively and according to Jerry.
Best of luck with your new kilt
