Promotion Code for Stillwater

[Guinach]

Anyone know where/how are there any promotion codes?

I'm thinking of getting one of their heavyweights and a code might clinch the decision.
(It's my birthday, so it'll be a present to myself)

Happy birthday ... Guess when you buy your own present, you're guaranteed to get what you want!

I just bit the bullet and went ahead and ordered the heavy weight BW.

For $150 how can you get a lower price? It sounds like it's about a 13oz wool from other posts and about 6 yards for a 38" waist.

I plan on wearing it in cooler weather for the most part, so I'll be curious as to how heavy it actually is.
Should find out by about Wednesday.

We'll see.

I'm wondering if this thing is going to be too heavy for any season.

I wear my USMC heavyweight all year.

No, 13 oz will absolutely not be too heavy. Any lighter weight and the pleats wouldn't move properly. A 20 oz miltiary weight might be too hot for some areas in the summer, but not the one you are getting. Enjoy it and have fun wearing it.

Jerry was kind enough to send a quick note today,
he says it is a 16oz wool.

It's not the regimental 20oz, but is 16oz still pretty heavy? It seems folks are steering towards the lighter weight yardage of 4 to 5 yards.

I'll stick with the heavy weight, I think.
Sent Jerry a note to add socks and red flashes. It comes with the Tartan flashes, but a solid color would be good too.

Khan. Regimental weight kilting cloth, at its heaviest was 22oz and this was for OR's Kilts, Officers usually purchased their own kilt and had it made in 16-18oz. To my knowledge the only weavers in Scotland weaving a regimental weight tartan is House of Edgar at 18oz and only in 6 tartans. What Price Glory does heavyweight tartan military kilts (it's heavier than 16oz, but unsure of exact weight) but I beileve it is woven on the Indian sub-continent.

16oz is the heaviest you will find in stock tartans from all the UK mills. I don't know if D C Dalgliesh will weave any heavier on special request but their standard heavyweight is 15oz
In my opinion any kilt, regardless of yardage will swing, swish and swoon better in 16oz than lighter weight.

A 16oz 8 yd kilt is fine in missouri's 100+ degree summer temps, unless you're much higher than that you should be okay

Sounds good,

We will see what happens at the end of the week.
