    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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".
