I understand he is currently experimenting with a series of superpowerful colossal electromagnets that will focus the time stream to allow the product to arrive at your door prior to your ever thinking about ordering it.

    Now that's cool...

    Hah, alright, youv'e all convinced me to order from them... Just ordered a standard nightstalker (having seen my friend's nightstalker when I was asking him about swiftwater) and a thrifty buchanan, and for the heck of it I tossed in another kilt belt and a pair of socks because the price was right >_<

    I directly put in the comments "heard great thing from xmarksthe scot.com" so he'd know how I got there.

    If you liked the Nightstalker kilt check out the Heavyweight Shadow tartans. I have the black and have seen the saffron. They're both something to be seen to really appreciate the subtlety of the weave.

    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.

    Anyway, I thank all of you who have posted reviews/opinions of Stillwater, this helped me feel better about an internet purchase
    Check your mailbox. It's probably there already.

    As you can see, a whole buch of us are very fond of Jerry's service and products at SWK's.

    You will not be sorry, and this will not be your last order!
