    Then I guess my next question is, if it doesn't go against the forum rules, can anyone recommend a good quality, but reasonably priced, kiltmaker? I am very impressed with Rocky's customer service at USA Kilts and his work looks excellent. I also like the idea, and I've been toying with it, of having a box-pleat from Mr. Newsome. Can anyone give any personal experience with the 5-yard wool from USA Kilts (in 13 or 16oz, does it feel like an 8-yard?) or a box-pleat from Mr. Newsome? Thanks again.

    I've worn quite a few of Mr. Newsome's kilts, but then again I may not have the most unbiased opinion. :-)

    Seriously, though, there are lots of reviews of both my kilts and USA kilts on this forum, if you do some searches. My kilts and Rocky's kilts are different animals, so it will be kind of hard to compare. I think the only way to resolve this difficult situation would be to buy at least one of each. What do you say, Rocky? :-)
