Need advice:Sport kilt –vs- Still Water standard weight

[sean_cummings]

Hey guys I need some help here. I am looking to get a new kilt for attending some weddings this summer. I need one kinda quick and affordably. I am thinking of getting either a Sport kilt with the works or a Still Water standard weight.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Which has the best swing, not too hot in summer, which in general looks most traditional?

Thanks all,
Sean

Standard Sport kilts are great..for what they are intended for....casual sportwear, highland games, apre sports, kicking around in, etc.
Stillwater dress up much better! Very Comparable in price too.

i agree completely, i would never dream of wearing my sport kilt to a formal event, they dont always tend to keep the pleats, and the elastic band tends to bring it down a notch.

Apples and Oranges? Heck no. More like apples and brussel sprouts.

I wear my sportkilt every day, but as a kick around the house kilt. I dont wear it out.

Stillwater is outfitting my entire wedding however, so I think that speaks for itself.

Besides, the Stillwater is cheaper, the shipping is WAY faster, and the customer service is top notch, bar none. So far I have had very bad luck with Sportkilt regarding all three of those things.

You guys are the best. Stillwater it is. They have the green solid in my size in heavy weight.

Do you all think that would look good if I rented an argyle jacket, cream hose and a dress shirt?

Buy the hose and dress shirt if you can afford them, you'll get plenty more use from them. I would advise a Prince Charlie for a wedding if you want a true formal look.

I love my SWK Green Heavyweight. Make sure to pick up green flashes as well as hose when you do. Have you thought about maybe having a regular jacket converted to a kilt jacket by a tailor? I don't know what it costs to rent one but for $40 - $90 you can have an argyle style of your own.

Don't forget to budget for a sporran belt, kilt belt, and sporran.

I know nothing negitive about Still Water. I have heard all good about them. I own 4 from Sport Kilt. I am well pleased with them.

Go with a Still Water, i have a standard in Black Watch, comfortable in this early summer, and i received it VERY fast, great quality and has a more traditional look IMHO.

I am a fan of SportKilts, but they're definitely not for dress wear. Go with the Stillwater
