Thanks Hugh,
This one is a PV from Heritage of Scotland. It was on sale and I couldn't pass it up. I love the tartan, and overall I like the kilt well enough, but as I mentioned, the bottom edge is hemmed and up close it looks a bit rough. Everything else though I can't really complain about, especially for the cost. We have a couple more from a local shop that are a lot better overall, but judging by the labels, they also are from HoS, (didn't know that until the HoS one was delivered) so I'm not sure about their quality control, or if they outsource their manufacturers (which would be my guess).
If you get a good price on a sale, and don't mind several weeks wait for the shipping, IMO they make a perfectly decent kilt for running around town in or going to dinner. Not the greatest, but I certainly don't have any regrets. Haven't had a single bad comment on them, but there aren't any kilt police here. My wife likes the ones we have enough that she ordered another one for herself from them. When it shows up, I'll definitely take a pic and compare it to the others. Their cost, even with shipping, is better than the markup that my local shop tacks on to them.
None of those kilts comes close, however, to my wool heavyweight from Stillwater. Even the SWK acrylics that I have in the house seem to be made better, but I'm not a fan of the material. Plus they don't have a really great selection on patterns.
The other folks here could probably give you much better advice on HoS products and/or who might make a better PV kilt for the price. I just don't have any experience with other than those two companies at the moment.
