Celtic Croft questions

I'd be happy to answer any questions I can Alan. You can PM if you'd like.

I've always had good responses from Lorrie Croft. She has always been prompt to inform me about order status, especially if there will be a delay of any sort. Besides the economy kilt, I've also ordered a great kilt, their philabeg, and a few accessories.

Davedove, I'd be interested in one of the special order economy kilts, because they have it in Ulster Red. I can't justify a "tank" in an Ulster tartan, which is usually the only option since kiltmakers have to buy the Ulster tartans in pretty expensive material. However, Celtic Crofts economy kilt is in homespun, and they have the Ulster Red! Yahoo! I could maybe scrape up the bucks in a couple of months for one of their economy kilts.

How's the construction and fit and all?

Here's the economy:

A view of the pleats:

The pleats are all uniform and about three inches deep. They are stiched down about eight inches from the top. The straps and buckles are pretty average. It fit really well when I first got it, but it's kind of loose now since I lost a few inches. As I said, I can't compare it to other wool kilts yet, but it's pretty decent quality. All in all, not a bad kilt for the money.
