    I have a kilt from J.Higgins and one from Kathy Lare. As Ron says, my K.L. kilt in Buchanan hunting came without the basting stitches, but no sirens went off, and as a matter of fact, she did such an excellent job of pleating and pressing that you can't even see them in the back in photos. My J. Higgins machine-sewn kilt in MacGregor tartan has always done me well without a let-down. I wear it quite a bit for piping and sometimes for Highland games. You will not be disappointed.

    My family tartan tank (Duncan Modern) purchased last year, is also a J. Higgins. I'm extremely pleased with the quality and price. A few months ago, the Celtic Croft had the same tartan in their clearance section - more than enough for a fly plaid. Matched perfectly.

    Guess as a newly kilted member, I was falsly under the impression that all kilts came with the basting stitches. Boy, I couldn't agree more; Please don't make me pull stitches, with my clumsy hands, I would bugger it up in no time fast. I guess when I get a new SWK, I will have my wife read the threads about pulling them, and let her do it! I'll gladly trade her a nice back massage!
