Anyone buy a premier wool US Army kilt from Rocky yet?

My son-in-law had a premier made for the wedding and a friend of ours had a 5 yarder made for his wedding and both were superb. You can't go wrong, nor will you be disappointed. I'm saving up for a county Galway premier myself.

Ok, maybe I missed it, but what are the major differences between the 5 yard and the premier? Does the premier have more pleats? I did not that the premier is manufatured differently and has higher standard, but side by side what differences would I see.

Thanks,
Randy

Premier has smaller pleats, is sewn "inside out" (so you don't see any stitching), has 3 more yards of material (5 yards vs. 8 yards), has a horsehair lining (hand sewn) and a cotton lining (hand sewn) and takes roughly 15 MORE hours to make than a 5 yarder.

Those are the major differences. Hope those explanations help!
