You just can't tell. I have Strathmore, House of Edgar, Dalgliesh, and Lochcarron kilts and it'd be like a Coke Pepsi test to try to figure out which was "better"

My Royal Air Force tartan kilt was hand sewn by Kathy Lare from 16 ounce Strathmore fabric.




My Leatherneck tartan kilt was hand sewn by Kathy Lare from 13 ounce Strathmore fabric.



Don't think you'll have any worries. Strathmore is a respected mill and the choice for the military theme tartans.
