I admit the SWK STANDARD (the $80 one) is nice, but I don't like the SWK ECONOMY or SWK THRIFTY. I have seen all three, and the SWK Standard is the only one I liked.

Comparing the KM Economy and the SWK Affordable (which I have seen both in person), even though they are probably both made of Acrylic, the KM Economy looks closer to woven wool.

This isn't really a battle of the companies, it's mostly which cheap kilt would be a better value. I personally wouldn't buy a gift that wasn't returnable, even if it was from a reputable company.

You guys probably get better service because he knows you from this forum. But for someone he doesn't know, he didn't come across friendly or even helpful. And that's probably a big reason why I would not recommend SWK.
