    I heartily recommend Stillwater kilts. I'm also a large guy and refuse to spend a fortune on a handsewn kilt until I have a waist again. Stillwater sells 8 yard "Heavyweight" wool kilts for about $130 and 8 yard "Standard" kilts for about $80. Probably one of the best values for the money you can get. They come in standard waist sizes with a 24" length. That means for me that I wear it about 2-3 inches above my navel which feels a bit strange at first, but is lower than military kilts. I find that it is actually more flattering for those of us who have bellies - disguises it a bit.
    Without having read the rest of the thread, what McFarcus says is also my opinion. I'm a 290 lb man mountain, myself, and I love the SWK size 52's. I'm actually a 54, and they fit me fine. I have 2 heavies and 2 standards. Spend the extra cash on the heavies- you will regret it all winter if you dont'!

    Oh!! Oh!! I just noticed you're another Coloradoan!! It's so beautiful today! All cold and snowy! I'm wearing one of my Stillwater heavies and a pair of Lewis Rich kilt hose right now, and am out the door for a walk as soon as I finish eating my lunch. The heavyweights are great for days like today! They're nice and warm.

    Welcome to X-Marks - from Music City, USA - Nashville, TN !!
    I will agree with the others on SWK kilts - I have three - and for the
    larger waist they are great - whilst we try to slim down.

    Shnickies! You know of the three forums that I belong to this is without a doubt the friendliest and most prolific! Thank you for all of the great responses. I think I’ll be looking into a SWK kilt.
    Nighthawk, greetings fellow Denverite! Loving the weather today as well.
    MacHummel, I’ll do just that!

    I'm changing for my martial arts class... Man, I wish my instructors would let me wear my kilt! It's cold out there!! I'm going to freeze me bits and pieces off...

    If you're undecided on the SWK issue, you can meet my family and I here http://friendsofriversidecemetery.or...tour-art-show/ on Saturday. We'll be there as early as possible. I will be in my Stillwater saffron and a black shirt. (Orange and black- very fitting, no? )
