    This tartan seems to be a smashing hit...and with reason!

    Nice look! I really like that tartan. It seems like there are not that many in brown tones. I think that I would go with brown accesories, but the black matches fine as well.

    Thanks guys.
    cavscout, I have a plain black and plain brown Sam Browne belt coming, this one's just left over from my cop days a long time ago, back when they actually wore leather.

    Gotta say I'm pretty impressed with Stillwater's wool kilts. I can't wait to see what new wool tartans they'll have to offer. Maybe we should bombard Jerry with requests for our favorite tartans. I'd like to see Stewart hunting and Cameron of Erracht.

    I hope you get it before Sunday too, I haven't seen a wool SWk yet.

    I like the wool of my SW Lamont much better than the fabric of their standard Nightstalker. Any opinion on what the weight is? All I have to compare to is the 2005 Nightstalker, which is pretty light.

    Oswulf, That looks great. I am not usually a big fan of browns but that is really nice. I'll have to take another look at browns in tartans. You will be sure to get good compliments when out and about!

    Thumbs up SWK Weathered Lamont (irregular) review

    First, the pictures...



    Fabric weight it great. Heavier that I expected... little more than my SWK Saffron. Great swing, nice weave. Easily as good a product as any of my other wool kilts (but not the worsted wool ones).

    As far as the "irregular" part, I can see nothing that affects my opinion of the kilt. The tartan on the apron may be slightly off center, but not by very much... I think the under apron my be a little too long (aka visible), but it's easily fixed.

    One note... what appeared to be "white" in the pics on the SWK site is definitely off-white on my kilt. Can't imagine that part of the "irregular" part... it's probably just my monitor. But FWIW, it's closer to grey/stone than it is to white.

    All in all, a very big thumbs up.
