I have a brass Irish Brigade pin from my trip to Antietem last summer which works like a charm. And truth be told, I think the SWK thrifty's are better values than Sport Kilts. I was really unhappy with my SK. I'd be willing to pay $40 or maybe $50 for an SK, but $120 for what I got? I will continue to buy their accessories, but I'll not buy another of their kilts, especially when I can get a USA Kilt for the same price, or 4 (FOUR!!) SWK Thrifty's for the same price! So I say, get yourself a few SWK's. They're excellent, especially for the price. You can't beat them.

Hey thanks for the advice, and I agree that you could buy a USA Kilt for as much as a Sport Kilt, but I don't think yall give SportKilts enough credit, I like how easy they are, and they may not look like the traditional kilt, but I love alot of the patterns they have that USAK dosen't, which is why I bought a SportKilt Irisher, it was just unique and gorgeous.

Also, are the pleats sewn down on a SWK Economy????
