Anyone Own a What Price Glory Regimental Weight Kilt?

[Mathew MacKillop]

I would hesitate to call the WPG kilts "regimental weight".

If you want a regimental weight kilt I recommend getting the extremely nice 18oz regimental tartan from House Of Edgar. This has a distinctive slightly fuzzy blanketlike surface quite unlike civilian tartan.

This is something I was looking into earlier today. With the mixed feelings towards WPG, I started to look at alternatives, and your comments only reinforce this idea. The lower price is what made me look into WPG in the first place, but as with so many other things kilt-related, I guess you get what you pay for.

My wish now is to be able to set the funds aside for a regimental weight Army from Keltoi, at $730, so more than twice the price. From reviews here, though, I've a feeling that I'll end up much happier with the end result. I'm still not convinced that 18oz wool will be warm enough for those days of -30 Celsius weather, though.
