    I'm intrigued because I'm considering getting a SK and the pictures looked fine to me. Are you saying they're NOT as good as the pics or are they even BETTER?
    Kilt4beer, I think what Nighthawk means--and this was my experience with them--their kilts look as good as, if not better than, many other's made-to-measure kilts on the website. But when you get them they're more like sweatpants with pleats. They're universal fit, meaning they universally don't fit anyone very well. Their customer service is good, but the product is sub-par. I bought one kilt from them and can't recommend them. Spend the extra $20 and get a USAK casual...much better product, and it will fit you because it's made for you.
    The grass is greener on the other side of the fence...and it's usually greenest right above the septic tank.

    I agree. I have had both of these kilts in my hands. I would say go with USA KILTS Kilt4beer take a look.
