I think I'm out of control

Nice that you know what you are doing and have a purpose/mission in mind.

Myself, I prefer tartan. BUT, I am also a Scottish fanatic, so it fits.

Too bad about the Stillwater

. I like kilts with weight too (a 4 yarder box in 16 oz is just perfect and balanced).

Maybe, a good "winter"/"cool weather" kilt would be one of Matt Newsome's tweed specials, found at:

I'm beginning to find that the SWK will get really soft if you wear it enough. Also, in 104 degrees in Chicago last summer, I found that it was really hot ... and that the material is heavier by some degree than a Sport Kilt.

Just my findings.

I definately have more kilts than I have pants.

"Welcome to the addiction."

"Welcome to the asylum."

Do these quotes sound familiar (from your initial thread in Newbies)?

Just don't try to catch Riverkilt & Hamish- they have too much of a head start!

I can sympathize. I have two UKs that I purchased and wear frequently, a UK workman's from working an event last month and a blue denim UK original I ordered at the beginning of June. In addition, I am on the waiting list to get a workman's in the white fabric (if they don't run out of it by the time my name get to the top) and two vouchers from the last event I worked at, good for a free Original or Mocker each. I'm holding on to the vouchers until they have relocated to downtown Seattle in September; by then I will have lost more weight and will need a smaller size anyway. Assuming, of course, that they have anything on the shelves. :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=pbpersson]I have one Utilikilt original I love and one StillWater kilt that I'm not crazy about.[QUOTE]
What kind of kilt do you have from Stillwater and why don't you like it? I ask because I'm thinking of getting one from them...

I'm sitting here reading before class wearing my SWK Black Stewart. It's a 34" waist and the drop is 24". It fit's great for a sub $70 price. It's perfect for today it's over 100 which is rare for our altitude here in AZ. Of course I like buckles and a more traditional kilt. I wore it yesterday. I posted some pictures yesterday. Gotta go; school time. O'Neille

The only thing keeping me from ordering more kilts is the lack of funds right now. I am trying to figure out how I can make one kilt work for at least three or four days of the week. I'd like to wear them everyday, but until I get at least two more, I don't think it's practical.

I am used to Utilikilts. They are easy to put on, they have some substance to them, and they are comfortable.

I bought the Stillwater Standard Nightstalker and these are the things I didn't like:

1. Fabric feels rough
2. Fabric feels lightweight
3. Kind of weird putting it on but the various straps are standard on many kilts
4. I need a sporran which I knew beforehand but just getting "suited up" with all the straps and chains and whatever seems like such an ordeal!

I don't know - it might just take some getting used to. It is hanging in the closet and I just don't know what to think. I much prefer the heavier poly/cotton blends but that's just me.
