Celtic Croft or Stillwater?

We always recommend dry cleaning. You should ask your dry cleaner if they have experience with leather and pleats before leaving your kilt with them. Your economy kilt will look better longer.

Hmm, decisions decisions. Anyone have both? How's the quality? Which would you choose?

Haha! Well my dad lives in Montana so the weather is a little warmer.

I would love to get him an ex-military kilt or even an ex-hire kilt, but the ones I've found are out of our price range for a Christmas present for one person.

Hey Chelsea - have you contacted Arizona Kilts? http://www.arizonakilts.com/
Because of a family situation, Graeme is selling off his inventory and closing his store. At one time a few weeks back, he still had ex-hire kilts available for sale. You may want to give him a quick call to see what is remaining.

I have a kilt form Celtic Croft, a phillabeg, made of thier homespun material. I like it. It is quite nice. I live 60 miles from the nearest dry cleaner [rural Colordo] and the material does quite well with hand washing with a mild wool type cleaner and drying between two large towels. My next kilt will very likely be one of their economy kilts in the very same fabric. I think your father will be very happy if you chose one of their kilts.

In the Homespun Tartan list there appears "Irish Green (non clan)", but this sett is not shown in the images for the homespun.

What does it look like...?

I was wondering about the Brown Watch and emailed Celtic Croft asking about a swatch. I got an email back the next day saying one was on the way to me.

... I would assume that it's a solid colour, but then how does it differ from 'Solid Green Modern' that they also list?
