It came across as brownish on my monitor as well. It really is black and grey.

I think socks up is the better look. Love the Nightstalker. I just ordered the 2006 standard.

Thanks Iolaus.

The pictures on the Stillwater site are remarkably poor. Perhaps all the SWK owners should send them an email and their pics, urging them to put up an owners gallery like so many other kilt vendors do.

It's a nice looking kilt, but the pictures on their site totally turn me off. Its only seeing it here that makes it look like something I'm interested in.

BTW, how wide are the belt loops? Will they fit a three inch belt?

It really is a very neutral grey...my monitor/monitors makes it look like a warmer grey than it is in real life.

Best

3½", It'll fit a 3" belt easily.

Well that settles it. Now I can wear my cool 3 inch leather belt with the Celtic dogs buckle and dragon studs from the Book of Kells.

I know what I'm getting myself for Christmas.

Nice look!

I vote hose up too.

BTW, the socks are the Over The Knee tube socks from Sock Dreams

I can't find any leaks, so I must assume a blockage or that the ducting plan doesn't allow enough volume to feed the long strech of pipe.

That's the rationalization. The truth is, I love the ambience of a real wood fire on cold winter nights....and the 45 year old house is drafty.

Hey Yaish, could you post pics of that belt? Sounds awesome!

The kilt looks great, Iolaus! I know this is a little late, but in the first pic, with the t-shirt and boots, I like the low socks best. But for dressed up, socks up is the way to go.

Although it may be slightly off topic, I went to high school with Stone's vp of sales, Arlan Arnsten, who was/is an incredibly nice guy. Just so you know that behind that fine beer there are fine people.
