I think I'm out of control

[davedove]

I am used to Utilikilts. They are easy to put on, they have some substance to them, and they are comfortable.

I bought the Stillwater Standard Nightstalker and these are the things I didn't like:

1. Fabric feels rough
2. Fabric feels lightweight
3. Kind of weird putting it on but the various straps are standard on many kilts
4. I need a sporran which I knew beforehand but just getting "suited up" with all the straps and chains and whatever seems like such an ordeal!

I don't know - it might just take some getting used to. It is hanging in the closet and I just don't know what to think. I much prefer the heavier poly/cotton blends but that's just me.

Traditional style straps do take a little getting used to and do require a bit more time, but I much prefer the straps. For one thing, they are much more forgiving of changes in waist size. For instance, if you eat a bit too much at a meal, you can just loosen the straps one notch. You can't do that with snaps.

I'm with Dave on this one. I can't wear my two Utilikilts right now because I've lost a little weight and even with a belt I have to keep hiking them up. On my other kilts I can just tighten the straps (or velcro) and off I go.

This reminds of one of the great things about kilts- there's a style for everyone. My first kilt was a Workmans UK and I love it. But, I personaly prefer the traditional fit over the on the hip UKs. Don't worry about it, you'll find a style you like.

Okay....well....I wore my new Utilikilts Mocker to church today and I simply LOVE it! If this is what "getting dressed up" is all about then I want to get dressed up every day!

So....I just got on the web and ordered three more so I will have all four colors.

So I will have:

4 UK Mockers
3 UK Originals
1 Union Kilts Denim
1 Amerikilts kahki

.....and a partridge in a pear tree.....

Now....this is it! No more kilts! Honest!

WOw, your numbers are growing rapidly! Congrats

Well....before I discovered kilts I was planning to start working on paying off some debt.

That project has been temporarily put on hold.

I figure the debt will still be there waiting for me when I'm done buying kilts, so what's the hurry?

I have my eye on a UK corduroy, too. I've just been staying away from kilts that don't offer much adjustment. I can fluctuate between 34" and 36".

I now, have four kilts...and the number's growing. I don't want to buy many kilts from one kilt-maker, to find that I don't like them after a short time. I have two SKs, a Burnetts & Struth and a soon-to-be-picked-up SWK wool. There isn't a good selection of tartans available, if you have clan connections, so I too, am looking toward non-tartan kilts for future purchases. MacIntosh/Currie

I have one Stillwater standard and the fabric is just so lightweight that I'm not happy with it. The fabric is rough also. Anyway, I like to feel like I'm really wearing something.

I'm beginning to find that the SWK will get really soft if you wear it enough. Also, in 104 degrees in Chicago last summer, I found that it was really hot ... and that the material is heavier by some degree than a Sport Kilt.

Just my findings.

That's it until you buy the next one!

DALE.

Thankfully, I was able to stop when I had 12 kilts in my closet.

It seemed like a nice round number

One of the last kilts I ordered was a soft tan corduroy UK for cold winter night walks - I really like it.
