    It's not that I care about 'swish' in a contemporary fashion kilt much, but 'fall' is important.

    I own two SWK heavyweights (one Black Watch and one Black Stewart). They are both solid off-the-rack kilts. They are comfortable and I enjoy wearing them. I have no complaints about either of them and would recommend them. SWKs shipping times are also something of a legend here. If you order one today and it's in stock, it will have arrived yesterday.

    Only one note of caution: I fall into the particular body type SWKs are designed to fit as fluter mentioned earlier in the thread. If you don't fall into that category, your mileage may vary.

    Just as a point of order, as a MacDonald I'm no allowed to wear Stewart and certainly not Black Watch since it's a Campbell tartan. My brothers would never stop harassing me.

    Not to Canada I'm sure. Canada Post always takes a few weeks to process US orders at the border.

    I'd need to lose 2" on those lengths which means finding a good kilt tailor.
