    I have one (Black Stewart). They have A shaping for the front apron and cutouts in the pleats at the waist for a slimmer better fit. I'd have to check if there are any more structrual improvements over the old one. The colors of the wool Black Stewart are more subtle than the old acrylic one I had. I am really happy with mine (then again I'm a dedicated Stillwater Kilts fan, Jerry has never let me down)

    Here's a picture of mine with the love of my life.

    Like the sound of those upgrades, the bulky waistband was my only beef with SWK.

    Jamie, I know you're somewhere in this picture, but for the life of me, I can't seem to notice anything beyond the Flame Haired Celtic Goddess!

    Between the goddess and that sporran, it took me a minute to spot you, as well! Thanks for the info, Jaime.

    Does anyone know if this applies just to the HW models or across the line? (I'm thinking of the Standard models, especially.)

    As far as I know the Stillwater heavyweight wool kilts are the only ones with these upgrades.

    Got my SWL Saffron HW about 4 days ago - ditto Geoff - no pillow and great swing.
