    Interesting Development with our Casual Kilts

    Ladies and Gentlemen... starting immediately, we are now able to offer hand stitching in our casual kilts, just as in our standard 8 yard traditional kilts, at the same price as before!

    Our casual kilts have always been machine stitched, however, beginning now they will be stitched by hand, without any increase in cost.

    Check out the pleats on this beautiful casual kilt we just got in from Scotland.




    I'm extremely happy with the quality of this item, and even happier that we don't have to raise the price any to offer it.

    By the way, that's 13 oz ancient MacLaren in the photo, Lochcarron cloth. Our medium weight casual kilts start at only $295.

    Not sure, you'll have to ask Rocky about that one. I know USA Kilts really does a great job with their machine stitching. I actually have one of Rocky's casual kilts myself (in wool) and it's machine stitched. Maybe they offer a hand stitched option, I don't know?

    I've always liked the casual kilts we offer at the museum for those looking for a lower cost kilt but who didn't want to give up on the ideal of quality, woven in Scotland, worsted wool tartan material. I've always said that the two major differences between our standard kilts and the casuals were 1)the yardage, and 2) the fact that the casuals were machine stitched.

    Well, now there is really only one major difference, that being the yardage used. They did such a great job on this MacLaren we just got in that I don't even think I'd be able to "spot" it as a casual kilt from a distance. I'm very pleased.

    Just to clarify, I wasn't trying to knock the kilt Matt, was just wondering, back to the OP, I REALLY REALLY like it, looks great, is a fantastic piece of work.....I am sure any one of us would be proud to own one of these...

    Matt,

    You have certainly raised the bar for the rest of us.




    I hate you.
