No Rigged, while it may be possible to have too many kilts, one can never have enough.

Got my Stillwater HW Shadow today... very substantial garment.

The tartan is visible in light, and the kilt is a good weight. Pix online are representative of how the tartan looks.

All the features I was expecting are there and done well - sewn down pleats, loops, buckles all look good, lined. Apron is nice and wide...

Definitely a good buy in the $90-$100 range.

I already had planned on ordering one as my next kilt. My only question is how difficult is it to shorten the kilt a little. My usual kilt length is 22 to 22.5 inches and the Stillwater only comes in 24 inch length. This would fall right at the bottom of my knees. Of course with my arthritic knees, coverig them could be a good thing too.

I don't imagine it would be any more difficult than doing the same with another poly-vicose or a wool kilt. Personally, I'd just wear it higher, but happy stitching!
