Stillwater Heavyweights

[CelticRanger66]

Hey a question regarding Stillwater heavyweight Kilts;

My wife for fathers day wants to get me a stillwater heavyweight but I want to get an opinion or two on the quality and style/kind of wool being used in them?

Thanks to all who answer in advance!!!

I have three stillwater heavyweights. And while they do not compare to the 13oz and 16oz house of edgar and locharron wool, they are very nice. I wear these when I want to be kilted but do not want to risk my $600 tank.

I have one of their heavyweights and it's great. Don't think I'll be wearing it during the summer but otherwise I would recommend it to anyone. The workmanship is excellent and you can't beat the price.

I have two Stillwater Heavyweights, one solid black and one solid green. I think they are sturdy, well made, and very handsome (especially the green)

Cheers

For the price, I don't think they can be beaten. Well made from quality materials. Neither hand-sewn nor tailored-to-measure, but a quality product with superb customer service. I almost suspect that Jerry has your order pre-boxed and ready to ship, that's how fast he gets the kilts delivered to customers. There has been a steady and noticeable improvement in the quality of the kilts he offers over the last few years: I recommend him without qualification (other than being off the rack). Remember the standard 24" length!

I think they are made of merino wool. I find it to be softer and less prickly than worsted, which is better for ATL summer. I wear them, but I work indoors and move from a/c to a/c. the only downside to the SWK heavies is that the waistband is not cut out so the kilt doesn't move as well around the midsection and feels hotter there.

I have the two kilts mentioned above. They are good quality and you can't beat the speed of delivery or the price. They weigh over 4 pounds! so they really are heavyweight.

24" length means, I think, that you should really be around 6' tall to wear them comfortably.

I have the HW Saffron. I really like that kilt. So much so, I'm looking at getting a black Shadow Tartan. I don't think you will regret the investment. Next to a Hand-sewn wool tank, I'd say PV and the Stillwater HW's are a tie for second in my book.

Well after so many endorsements My wife sprung for me The SWK Heavyweight Leatherneck Box pleated Kilt with USMC belt buckle, leatherneck tie and a Weathered Lamont heavyweight!!!

Sort of a combined Father's day/Birthday gift !
