Based on this thread I ordered a Thrifty-Kilt in the MacLeod Hunting. This will be my first kilt. I went for it despite the rolling eyes of my spouse; she'll just have to see me in it to be convinced, I guess. 
I am sure this won't be the last!

Sounds like an excuse for a kilt night. I'm a little north of B'ham. We should try to work something out.

SWK Thrifty Kilt
I ordered one of the SWK thrifty kilts as a wear around, and it arrived today. It fits, unlike my "fredonline321" 36" Pride of Scotland which is real nice and is made for a 34" waist, and the Thrifty was 1/2 the cost of the fredonline321.
It is pleated to the stripe and very well done, no jiggly lines from waist down anywhere. It has no liner and the pleats are not sewed down to the fell, but this would be expected. The only negative point would be for a prospective buyer to be aware that it is supposed to be a medium and from 34" to 38" but it is best at 36" because to first pleat to the right (when wearing the kilt)creates a space if the waist were larger than 36".
For the price, it is a real nice kilt. Well done SWK.

P.S.: Now I am waiting for my FCK (Frugal Corner Kilts) Clark and I will be able to accustom the local crackers to my kilt wearing because both are what they expect a kilt to look like, then I will be able to wear my brown corduroy and denim kilts (both DIY's)
