I guess the great, never to be answered question, is SWK's Standard weight and FC's 16oz the same product??? To me, FC's is a little heavier, and therefore, a little stiffer. But that could have been one run lot on one particula Tartan.
I have 2 FC "16 oz" and 3 SW "standard" kilts and I would have to agree that the FC material seems to be thicker and the whole kilt is a bit more substantial. Both of them are well worth the price though I like the FC better. However, I also have a few of the SW "economy" and FC "13 oz" kilts and I have to say, I will not order another "13 oz" again. The material and construction of some of the FC "13 oz" kilts is downright shoddy esp. when compared to the SW "economy" models. They must have multiple manufacturers too because the 3 I have are quite obviously made by 3 different people.
As far as their customer service goes, I know there are a few people in the past that had problems but I have never had a problem with them in three orders. I ordered a Campbell kilt before they had pics of it and when it arrived it turned out to be a Campbell of Argyle so I let them know and they exchanged it without question. I had one order of an out-of-stock item that took a looong time to get in but they kept me informed with an ETA on when to expect it. Overall, my experiences with FC have been outstanding and if I am in the market for an acrylic kilt again I will certainly look them up.
