Saffron kilts less than $150

**jayhawk** · 29th September 13, 10:21 PM

Hi all...new to the forum and newish to the world of kilts. I currently own a kilt bought out at the local renaissance festival a few years back, but I'm going to be buying a saffron kilt here shortly and was seeking the boards advice.

I'm looking for a saffron kilt, and I'd like to keep the kilt below $150. I've looked at the Amerikilt saffron and the Stillwater Standard Saffron kilt.

First off, is anyone else aware of any other options for saffron kilts in this price range?

I like both modern and traditional kilts, so that's not the deciding factor to me. What I'm hoping for is a well made kilt that will last, and hopefully not wrinkle constantly. I've read the Amerikilt saffron is a heavier material (10 oz.)...will that increase or decrease how easily it wrinkles.

Any opinions on the Stillwater standard kilts? I know they only come in one length, but that's the same length as my current kilt so I know it should work...although it is on the verge of being too long.

So...feel free to share your thoughts/guidance/advice. I'm planning on wearing the kilt casually around town as well as to band gigs at the renaissance festival.

Thanks,

Eric

Stillwater Heavyweight is also under $150, and being wool is less prone to wrinkles than acrylic.

I saw that...but they only list three sizes (all of which are not my size). Eric

I concur about the Stillwater wool kilt. I've had one and it was one of my favorites (until I gained too much weight to wear it). It's currently at $142 and Jerry gives great service.

I own two Stillwater standards and I can vouch for them being of good quality. That being said, Geoff is right about wool being less prone to wrinkles. The Stillwater heavyweight is within your budget and it's worth the money.

Just my $0.02. YMMV.

Again, welcome

Don't forget to take a look at Ebay from time to time.

SWK is really good about contacting you when the right size comes available. Just send him a note about what you're looking for.

I have two of theirs.

Cheers

USA Kilts casual kilts are listed at $99.99 .

Unfortunately, Rocky's site no longer lists Saffron as on of the available MM PV options for the casual. That may be a mistake, since I am reasonably sure it was once on there. If it IS a mistake and saffron PV is available, that would definitely be the way to go.

OK - thanks for all the advice everyone. I think I'm going with a SW Kilt standard in Saffron...but I'm going to hold off on this and ask for it as a Christmas gift. I'm going to start a new thread on utility kilts here in a second, though, because I want a modern kilt right now.
