I ordered my Stillwater heavyweight Thursday and received it on Monday. My wife is the one that opened the package first and picked up the kilt. She commented on how heavy it is. Being a person who believes in only 13oz or greater 8 yard worsted wool kilts, I was a bit apprehensive about ordering this kilt, even after reading Jimmy's reviews. I immediately compared it to my 8yard wool kilt, both had about the same number of pleats, both have the tapered aprons, both with sewn down pleats. Both are heavy. So far I am impressed. I put on the Stillwater, and notice the differences. It does not feel is nice as and comfortable as wool, nor does it hang like it. I then take a look at the bottom. The bottom is just cut, not turned up and sewn like my "tank". Maybe that is why the kilt does not move like a traditional.

Would I wear this kilt to the pub? Yes. Would I wear this anywhere else? No. If the bottom edge was done differently, I would be more inclined to wear it out to more places.

So for $100 bucks I am satisfied with the kilt. Would I buy another one, no. I would use the money to go towards another "tank".
