Thanks for all the advice, nice pic at the Prom. I think I am going to have to get a couple of the heavyweight wool then, they seem to be about the best for the money. I can either get about 3/4 of a tank or 3 heavy weights from SWK. thanks everybody.

This is just my opinion, however, if I could afford 3/4 of the price of a tank, I'd wait and save up the last 1/4. From what I have heard, the tanks can basically go to war and back, as well as remain in your family for generations.

However, something about having variety also speaks to me...

Blast it. I simply need to win the lottery.

Yeah... That's about where I'm at.

Seriously, the SWk heavyweights are excellent, espcially for the price. If you can a tank, that's preferable, as Jerry (the guy who runs SWK) will tell you. But if you want a nice kilt that you can wear without worry too much about getting messed up, then SWK is most deffinately the way to go. I have three standards and one heavyweight, and have to say the heayier ones are the way to go for cooler weather, and the standards are great for that hot as h**l weather mentioned previously. I made the mistake of wearing my heavyweight to a festival last August and actually had to leave early as a result! So which one is better all depends on the intended use I would say. Either way, you'll get a lot more kilt for your money than you expect.

I almost bought the heavyweight when I bought my Black Watch from him. Because of what you just wrote, I'm glad I went with the standard. I live in Florida. It's always hot as hell.

My wife and I honeymooned to Clearwater last June. It is indeed hot as hell, and I was so glad that I had the idea to leave the wool at home. I brought my Amerikilt, and that was perfect.
