Ooooh... Yeah, no one ever mentioned that to me, yet, and I was about to plunk down my cash... Thanks Dan!

ChubRock: Please let me know how Jerry's kilts fit by size, specifically, whether the kilt-size matches your measured girth... It will probably save me a bunch in return-shipping costs.

I'm feeling the jones; so, the sooner the better ;-)

Oh, and Wool all-the-way, my friend... That's what I'm doing, anyway.

My next kilt will be heavyweight from Jerry, so ChubRock, please let us all know how they fit based upon your size and his!

Definitely the wool heavyweight. It's not THAT heavy, probably about an 11-13 oz fabric.

That's a little lighter than I'd hoped; but, for $130.00 that's still quite reasonable IMHO.

You beat me to it! That is exactly what I was about to say.

My Nightstalker is 16 oz easy. My saffron shadow is 13, though.

Depends on where you are.... I returned my first "traditional" purchase - a Black Watch - to him when I decided that it wasn't a year-round garment for SoCal. The Weathered Lamont is just as heavy, but I liked it too much not to get it.

Wife green lighted the Nightstalker SWK Standard from Big Mike (sweet deal for a 2nd hand $20) so funds were available for a new UK Workman's Caramel! Bought from a dealer in Texas clearing out stock for $172.00 Now let's see if the deal is legit and I will have my third kilt in the last thirty days. Since I have the SWK standard, I feel as though a more modern kilt for daily wear since I am a tech. It won't have the swagger or swish, but I am sure she will still swoon ;-)

So, ChubRock,

How does the NightStalker fit compared to your measurements? What size is your Nightstalker (inches) and what is your navel circumference? ... Which buckle-hole of those available are you using? Do you feel the kilt fits "tight", "loose" or "just right" to you? I'm about to order an SWK HeavyWeight BlackWatch; and I'm between sizes (39" at navel, height 5'-11", 45" seat, 24" length); so, I'm not sure whether I need to take the upper or lower bound... Please give me the benefit of your experience. (Any others who have SWKs, I would equally like to hear your perspectives)

**ChubRock** · 3rd July 09, 11:58 AM

Tag says 48, my measuring device says around my navel is (gulp) 51". With the straps set to their last hole, it fits well. I am able to slide it on and off over my hips without un-doing the buckles. Of course, as I lose a little weight I can tighten it up and still be looking sharp.

I am still getting used to the amount of material. The UK I won has much, much less. The SWK is like a nice comfy wool-like blanket wrapped around me. I can only imagine the pleats and rigidity of a tank will be an improvement that I can't yet imagine.
