    I got a 13 oz casual from them. Granted, it ain't a tank, but it is decent quality and a good value.

    thx u all.
    kilts looks great bubba and it is made from worsted wool i suppose? i just discovered how nice worsted wool holds its shape, so i would like to buy another worsted.
    on the other hand i saw that one on ebay:
    http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...MakeTrack=true

    this kilt is made mixed fibres, do anybody know if they hold pleats reasonably?
    i have also a mixed fibres kilt, but it ios not as stiff as my worsted...

    Can't figure out if its already made up and ready to ship to you or if its one of those EBay ads offering to make a kilt with a random size shown as bait.

    Maybe its in the non-English copy I don't understand. I'd be sure it existed, and if not, what the jones time is for it.

    Beautiful kilt though.

    this seller provides different kilts in different sizes, they are not made in an industrial range like many other seller. those kilts are made like stillwater economics with pleats that are sewed just a couple of inches.
    it s the first kilt in this tartan that has my size.

    I CAN tell you this...

    it's REAL hard to go wrong with these guys! I know of about ten guys that own their kilts (traditional and "casual") and all of them are top-notch workmanship. Even the "casuals" are sewn with skill and care. When you can taper a "casual" and have them hang like these guys... you're good!

    If it's what you're looking for... I would say "yes". If I was in your brogues, I would not hesitate for a second.

    mcnice... I'm following the flow here and meant to let you know that I was speaking fo the eBay seller.

    Here's a GREAT way to see if you're dealing with something out of Hong Kong... or something that's presentable.

    Scroll down their page on the eBay link that you offered-up. See the kilt hanging on the manequin? Look at that front apron. Not only is it wide enough to go around the thighs and hips... but if you look at the tartan pattern on the front apron, you'll see that from the waist-line to the bottom, the apron is tapered-out. Look at the tartan stripe, and see how it's revealed more at the bottom. A GOOD and TAPERED and WIDE front apron is a sure sign of a well-patterned kilt. As for well-made... that's a gamble until you receive it. Fortunately, you can always ask about their "Return Policy" before you buy.
