I have mixed feelings about the SWK economy kilt.

For two reasons, I own a solid black (January) and newly arrived (today) Black Watch.

I like my solid black, so much so that I decided to order a second, Black Watch kilt.

They were both ordered the same size, yet the black fits like a glove where the new one is easily 2 sizes bigger though the tag indicates it is the same size as my black one.

Now, as for 'shaping' the kilt since they are the same at the waist and hip, I simply added 1 extra hole to the inner strap, and 1 hole to the waist outer strap, that way I can close it 'tighter' at the waist, and 'regular at the hips, thus giving it the tapered look.

As for the new one I got today....while the material feels as good as my old black one, it is simply unwearable. When I closed the straps, I still had a huge gap between 'skin' and kilt, large enough that I could fold the excess forming a horrendous bunch of fabric that can not be hidden, and that also wrinkles the apron. When I let go of the bunch, the kilt simply fell to the ground, it was so loose.

Quality is the same between the 2 batches (old black and new black watch), but the dimensions got messed up somewhere in Pakistan for the new one.
