I decided that I really like the Dress McLeod tartan, though I can't really afford a new tank with the state of economics right now. So I thought I would make another attempt at purchasing through Frugal Corner. Some of you may recall how my initial dealing with them went. Well they fixed everything after my first dealing, and I ended up buying two of their 16 ounce kilts for 35% off. I had purchased a solid black, and a black watch.

The solid black is quite comfortable, the pleats hold very well, and I noticed no wrinkling after sitting. The material itself feels rather soft, almost like cotton.

The black watch looks nice, though its not as wearer friendly as the solid black. This particular kilt wrinkles terribly with minimal sitting, and the material is obviously stiffer and feels more like canvas.

Lastly, when inquiring about the possibility of obtaining the McLeod this weekend I was informed that they did not have any in stock. They did, however, have another kilt available in my size for roughly $50 less than their normal price. So of course I had to purchase it! The tartan is what they are calling "New World Celt".

This particular kilt appears to be comfortably and soft like the solid black, and the pleats do not wrinkle like the black watch. I'm not sure if there is a correlation to color and wrinkles, but it sure seems that way.
