Frugal Corner vs Stillwater

The FC "16 oz" is VERY nice, but the 13 oz is probably more akin to SWK's old "economy" model (not that that's bad...just different!). ;)

I have an FC 13 and 16, as well as standard SWK and economy SWK; I don't have a "thrifty" SWK, but you can be pretty confident that anything you get from SWK is gonna be nice!

I like my SWK Thrifty, and I've just ordered a 13 oz FC. No opinion on the latter yet, and it will take a while to get here.

I own what I believe is the same thing as the FC 16 oz. I bought mine out of Pakistan as a " sample", lets just say I didn't get the deal that you "should" on a sample. Anyway, when looking FC over and matching the color, make, buckels, et al, I am pretty sure the manufacturer is the same or so close as not to make a difference.

My point. The 16 oz FC is a good piece of work, and at the price they list a great value. I own SWK standards, and they are much lighter fabric, and seem to pill more that the 16oz. The 16 oz might not be the same as a 16 oz wool, but it is a "tank". Heavy, great swish, and warm. I would buy another from FC in a heartbeat. I have bought some hose and a sporran from FC and had no problem with service. Maybe not the lightspeed delivery of Jerry, but acceptable.

If you are looking for a good reliable low cost arcylic kilt, the FC 16 is not a bad deal. I dont know about their lighter weight kilts, and in realitity you could say I don't know about the FC 16. But I am pretty sure they are the same.
