Review: Isle of Skye from Woollen Mill

[Chef]

So obviously I had to try the kilt on. It feels very nice and I think it looks quite good as well. It certainly doesn't feel like a custom tailored kilt but it is far beyond any other off-the-peg I have tried on so far. The buckles (which always seem to be a complaint on the cheaper kilts) are no problem here. The are substantial and what you would get on most made to order kilts.



Of course the required pleat shot. The pleats are very nice being slightly more than 2 1/2" deep



With the side shot you can get a glimpse at the triple fringe which I think is a nice touch for a ready made kilt.



All-in-all I'm quite happy with the kilt. I wish I had ordered the 36 since I am still loosing weight. Would I order it again...not sure. I wear mostly made-to-measure kilts but I might. On the other hand I might seriously think about spending the other $80 for the made-to-measure version of this kilt. Who knows this one may be for sale soon.

If you do decide to do that, I call first dibs =D 38" waist 23.5" drop basically exactly my measurements, and Iv'e wanted an IOS for a while now. I don't wear kilts that often (Gasp! sorry!), but when I do, I want to look my best, and IoS is one of the best looking tartans, bar none.

If you don't go that route soon, I may just have to purchase one of their off the shelf ones myself !
