    I have a Standard Black Watch and a couple of economies from SWK. Like em just fine. I'm gonna have the length shortened by at least an inch on the standard and probably hemmed up about 2" on the econs. I like the fit and assembly. The way they sway and contour in conformance to my narrow figure is most pleasing. I like my SWK's.

    btw: you won't have time for jones. the delivery is spectacularly prompt.
    Go, have fun, don't work at, make it fun! Kilt them, for they know not, what they wear. Where am I now?

    Stillwaters are just great. Their website is one that I check every day just to see if they're offering anything new and jones-inspiring.

    Still not quite a tank. Mine is 6 yards 8 inches and the pleats are very shallow (2"). However,for the money they are not bad.

    I've got two, and they're great. You can't beat the price either.

    I started out with a standard Nightstalker, and recently got a heavy weight Black Watch, which can be seen in my "New Black Watch" post in the pics section.

    I highly recommend SWK.

    I love my SWK, next kilt I get will probably be a SWK.

    The only thing is the bulkiness in the back. Sticks out a bit more than a hand-sewn, and makes the belt slip off. I have to use the belt loops to keep the belt down.

    I just got a leatherneck heavy weight, and it's a beauty. Not a custom made tank, but as good as you'll find off the wall.
