Stillwater Economy Disappointment

[pipesndrumsnun]

Governments have spent tragabazillions secretly investigating this phenomenon and have finally come close to concluding that this fabric shrinkage is caused by the toxic pollution in the air, caused by the flatulence of the wild Hagis. One possible solution still under study, and a possible future counter measure is to soak effected fabric in Snipe oil, which over time may cause the fabric to return to the original size.

Hmmm...interesting theory! A Sister friend tells me that humidity causes your clothes to shrink as they hang in the closet!!
It is certainly NOT that we get bigger!!!

Oh, great, so now people will be squeezing snipes. Well, I suppose some of them may enjoy that.

As for exchanging the kilt for one of the right size... keep in mind that Jerry is phasing out the Economy line, and what's available is what's available. There just isn't one in the right size to be had.

I didn't need to hear that...I just ordered a Men's SWK Standard Kilt- Nightstalker Tartan and Nylon Sporran...I hope it gets to my home before I do and I hope everything is in working/wearing order.

Everyone here has always nice things to say about Jerry...I'm sure he will live up to his reputation and take care of you.

Chase,

In all fairness to Jerry and Stillwater, I think I may have been quick to make the post about being disappointed. When I was showing my wife she pointed out the when I was looking at the length I was bending over which would affect the length. As stated in the other post, she thinks the waist fit is just slightly big. Something she thought would easily be "corrected" by wearing a belt.

I'm only 5'7" So I knew when ordering the kilt that it may be slightly long. My biggest issue was what appeared to be a lack of selvedge on the bottom edge. It was there, I just wasn't seeing it.

BTW, I have absolutely no complaints about my leather Nightstalker sporran.

Kent good ot hear that everything is OK, I've had to move buckles a few times it really is not that hard, for the economy Stillwater I would say you would only have to bring in the top two buckles the 3rd buckle should be loose anyway so as not to distort and pull at the tartan, someone else said it move them about a 1/2" each and that should be it.

By the way, I think it's time to change your signature.

The one thing about moving the straps is there are lots of holes for adjustment. If you are going to move the straps don't just move it 1/2 in. go a hole 1 in. and be brave. Like your wife said a belt will hold it up. Oh heck, take the straps off and belt up and wear it like a true Old Scot.

stillwater kilts are not tailored kilts beyond a 'standard' taper (they couldn't be at their price point) and if you're a shorter person needing to wear the kilt up a little higher because of the stillwater standard 24" drop, it's going to seem a little bit looser than it normally would. Just wear a good belt and it's all good!

I dont own any economy, just one standard and ... seven (yes 7) thrifties... yeah I picked one up in each tartan they carry standard.
