KCW - Glad you're happy with it. I have had a couple of kilts from the same manufacturer - different suppliers, which are great for hanging around in generally. (Not tried to wash them yet though.) Like you say, for the price I'm happy with mine (Douglas and Anderson) but I would never want to wear them out to a 'do'. On closer examination the Anderson pleats are not truly to sett (but only noticeable when you know what to look for) and the Douglas is my most worn kilt around my home.(I have worn this one out about town.) I don't dispute that they are 'tourist' kilts, but I have seen a lot worse than these. We all know they will never be the same as a hand-built beaut!
