Advice on a thrifty from SWK

My thrifty was on the large side, but the economy is on the tight side. Its a crap shoot...

My sons each have a couple of thrifties, and they do tend to run on the large side. Besides, if he needs to exchange it, sending the old one back and getting the new one takes about 18 minutes, 12 seconds.

The velcro is hard on the kilt, but a little extra strip would be easy to sew on. Why not fork out the extra 15 dollars and get a economy, its much heavier, looks better, and is sewn down at the hips!

I'll second that thought. My first kilt as an adult was a Stillwater economy. It's got buckles and straps and sewn down pleats and is a good starter/around the house not a major disaster if you mess it up kilt. Plus, your friend still won't be breaking the bank if he's unsure about wearing the kilt.

I bought a thrifty from the closeout page; it runs a bit large in my opinion. At the price I couldn't pass it up.

The only problem with the economy is the extremely restricted number of tartans. Two.

How about the standard, and you get the flashes for free!
