These kinds of stories are all I've heard about these guys... I was thinking about ordering a kilt from them, but I can a USA Kilt for the same price, and USA K has a killer reputation. So if you want something in roughly the same price range as a Frugal Corner custom kilt, you could go for a USA K semi trad. They're not in 16oz material, but you'll have your kilt in the time needed.
