Stupid is as stupid does. :oops:

[Mr. Kilt]

What a rush!! I got home from work to find a notice from the post office that a parcel was waiting for me. With baited breath I set off to retrieve it, hoping that it was the "Irish National" Stillwater kilt I'd won off eBay a few weeks ago.
I get it back home and promptly ripped into the package. Bestill my beating heart, it was!!!!!
With my wife looking on I stripped down and wrapped the lovely green tartan around my waist. What a brilliant green it was, too!
But wait! What's this? It doesn't seem to be hanging right. I do a quick spin and the pleats just sit there.
D'OH!!!!!
So...am I the only one who's tried on a new kilt and failed to notice that the pleats are stitched together for shipping?
Aside from that little situation, the kilt is fairly nice. It was the economy version, and as Jimmy Carbomb mentioned in his review of these kilts it will need a bit of work to make it a really nice kilt.
Pics will be coming once the mods are done.

Give the kilt a good test drive and let us know what you think of it.

Phil's kilt is done... and it's NOT an easy fix guys!

Stillwater kilts makes them in a manner that's VERY different from anything we see. To widen the front apron properly, it takes me 4 hours to do. FOUR HOURS for an apron!

We'll see Phil's review once he gets it back, but atleast it looks more "normal".

IF you are thinking about buying one and making the alterations yourself, just be REAL sure that you're VERY good with the needle and thread.
