    I see we are venturing into the fiction/fantasy arena again. What is this weight loss thing you speak of?

    Seriously, SWK would be a good place to buy several kilts to tide you over till you settle into a new weight.

    And since you can also sell your kilts for very close to what you paid for them, you should be out of very little money. Recycling kilts is a growing practice here on X-Marks.

    I've previously bought a couple of SWKs. SWK give great service, and great value for money. Kudos to Jerry!

    There are two features of SWK that did not appeal to my personal taste, however -- the cushion butt, and the 24" fixed length. Purely a matter of taste for me. I really did like the look of my SWKs, but a shorter kilt workers better on my frame, and I prefer a lighter feel around the waist. I ended up selling my two Stillwater's on XMarks.

    That said, maybe SWK might be a good compromise for an interim -- particularly as I've never tried a SWK 'Thrifty Kilt'. I'll have to reread the reviews on the product.

    Thanks for the ideas.

    The SWK Thrifty kilt is just $30. Closure is velcro and it doesn't have the yardage of the Standard or Heavyweight, but it's a good temporary kilt. I got one just for St. Patrick's day in Irish National, and even got a lot of compliments on it.
