Jerry is an angry old man that ships tablecloths. His JEDI mind powers are so strong we wear them thinking they are kilts.
That is the only explanation for the speed and low cost. 
I have 8 of his kilts and will probably buy more next year. I can wear them to work in a dusty warehouse, throw them in the washing machine, hang them out and put them on with hose/flash/tie and wear them for casual events.
They are great with boots and t-shirts too. Don't know how they hold up in the long run, but have spent many days in them doing stuff most wouldn't dream of in a hand sewn import.
Actually had a mature lady from the U.K. inches away from the fell on my Weathered MacKenzie with her bifocals before she believed it was machine sewn from a factory. That event got me a few stares in the mall.
To be sure, there are better easy care kilts out there. Not at the price point that I can find though.

I must say Perldog I'm a little surprized. Of all the posts regarding SWK you did have an issue with them and posted your comments. I guess between our replies and Jerry's customer service you not only gave them a second chance but you are now singing their praises.

That is correct. The other members convinced me my experience was a fluke, not normal SOP. So I ordered a hunting Macleod to hire myself out as a 300 lb Panache impersonator. No calls from my agent yet, but the kilts are pretty darn good for what you pay.
BTW, my second nightstalker sporran was sewn up straight and is a trusty companion. I am still working on a review of the Stillwater line for other noobs. I have some of all the models they offer and after a few more cycles of wear and care should be ready to post.
