Buying kilt #2

[AlaskanCelt]

Well fellas, you've given me a heap of info. Thanks! I think I may go with Steve at Freedom Kilts. I like his low ride feature and how he does the slant of the kilt towards the front. I'll save up a bundle for the moment and shoot high for a tank next go. For now a 5 yard PV kilt from him seems to be the best bet.

Don't dismiss wearing your kilt in the traditional manner (ie high (at your "natural waist")) until you've tried it.

WORD!!

That is the only way I wear the kilt. No jeans-height for me.

To the original post...if you can go $300 you can go two payments of $250 a few months apart and get a tank. Not sure about Steve, but know some kiltmakers do that two payment plan...mostly one up front and one when completed. And as far as "phantom" kiltmakers....you're best off to do business with people where you know who's gonna be sewing up your kilt - not jobbing it out to someone you have no clue about.

Oh I have worn em like that a couple times. I want more of a good "hang out" kilt. i'm saving for a tank traditional style for the next one.

I hear you, AlaskanCelt. I am also saving for a nice wool kilt. Maybe a five or six yarder since I live in Southern California and summers here are hellish.
