    Stillwater 13 oz. 100% wool

    http://pro.channeladvisor.com/storef...9&aid=15160474

    I'm impressed with how proactive Stillwater is. Looking for those additional tartans

    Oh heck yeah! If Stillwater really is bringing out an all wool kilt at 145----YOWZA! DOOMED I AM! I like the "regular" (acrylic) heavyweights, and a wool version, well, stand by to stand by!

    How cool is that?

    It says wool fabric. Does this mean 100% wool, or a wool blend?

    He's saying 100% wool. However, I saw nothing saying WORSTED wool. I'd be curious about that. After the positive reviews and the positive steps stillwater has taken this sounds pretty good though!

    I'm surprised to say that I actually like the acrylic, for what the Stillwater is. Washing it is simple and the pleats fall right back into place (and it's easy to get dog urine out, don't ask).

    But good for them if they're releasing a 100% wool kilt.

    If the Stillwater Wool Kilts are well made, I wonder how they are going to impact the kilt makret?

    Until the tartan range is greatly expanded, I don't think it will seriously effect the general market, but it will certainly help Stillwater's profit margin.

    Sure wish I was skinny enough for one of those Hummers to go around me.

    Let's take a look at what they're doing at StillWater.

    1). The aprons have been corrected to include a wider size, and a nice taper.

    2). The pleats are deep and numerous.

    3). The materials and linings are being ever expanded.

    4). The "Heavy Weight" and now the "Wools" are in response to our wants.

    5). The colors and tartans are being added... as per everyone's requests.

    ~It takes a LOAD of capital to get a new line rolling. This is NOT some little podunk outfit that is able to stock a few yardss and claim to have 100's of tartans. These guys are investing in the business, and changing the way that we're buying.

    ~With their prices and the quality that you get for it... I'm MORE than willing to back them with purchases and reviews. Besides that, they're ORIGINAL with the materials and offerings.

    ~Most of all, they're answering our requests rather than telling us what we can have. I don't want to be told what material I can have, I want to be able to request a material... and get it. The future solids are going to be HUGE!!!! And I'll be the first in line for a certain color.
    Arise. Kill. Eat.
