The only kilts I have to compare the philibeag to are my 8yd Bearkilt, and a Sportkilt I bought two years ago. The philibeag is a little lighter than the Bearkilt, although the PV seems to be about the same thickness. It is way heaver than the Sportkilt. I probobly won't be wearing the Sportkilt anymore! The pleating is great, not as Deep as the 8yd but very nice. They have a great swing to them. I'll try to get some pictures posted soon!
Donnie... I'm glad you liked it! The pleats on our Philabeg model are a bit wider and not quite as deep as our Traditional model, but they're still custom made to fit you like a glove. If you want a heavier and deeper pleated kilt, take a look at our Traditionals (or just ask Richardjohnson the difference ). Each model (i.e. Pricepoint) is there for a specific reason.

Post some "ACTION PICS" for us!
