Which kilt- Stillwater Economy or Kiltmart Affordable?

Why not post a link to each kilt you're thinking about (on each kilt company's site) and create a poll to tally votes?

Stillwater, hands down. But I would always recommend upgrading to the next weight. It'll look that much nicer and feel that much more secure. You'll get your money's worth anyway you go.

Thanks so much for all the great replies!!

It sounds there are lots of good reviews for Stillwater kilts, and I'm definitely leaning that direction. To answer a few questions though...

Stillwater discontinued their "Economy" line of kilts, however that being said they have a "Thrifty" version that is excellent and only $25-30 each.

Hubby is just wanting a Blackwatch tartan so it's fairly easy to find, in fact that's how I found the Stillwater Economy- they have a Blackwatch Economy leftover in his size. He isn't a fan of velcro for anything (I think his Mom traumatized him with velcro shoes when he was a kid ) so the Thrifty isn't on my list.

Thanks Rocky, that's a great idea, then we'll have some numbers! The poll is added, thanks for helping me decide!!!

I'd seriously consider, if you can afford it, going with the SWK standard. The thrifty is great, but the standard is still just $80 and a great value.

Yeah, I love my standards. Go with the Stillwater Standard and really surprise him!

I have both the economy and a standard and I love them both.

I'll pay the little extra for Jerry's incomparable service.

The Stillwater says the sale is final on that Black Watch kilt. Because the Economy kilts are discontinued, it's not a good idea to buy one because you can't return it at all.

[kakkui_1037]

Since the economy kilt is discontinued, it isn't returnable at all. Not a good sign.

Only a very few have ordered from both companies (I know CDNSushi has). So it's kind of lopsided if everyone responds like, "Oh I haven't ordered from Kiltmart, but I ordered from Stillwater".
