    I was just looking again at the Stillwater kilts website and I was amazed to see a "Wool Heavyweight Kilt" for $130! It says "made from 100% wool". A while ago, I was thinking of getting a SWK acrylic McKenzie kilt, but at $US130, I think I might just have to go for a wool Blackwatch. What do you think of this? That does seem really cheap.

    On Trademe - the NZ version of Ebay, I guess: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Clothing/Me...-257608294.htm "Celtic Spirit Tartan". I read the thread about Highland Inspirations, and they sound a bit dodgy, so I think that's out.

    And, for a laugh: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Clothing/Me...-257553895.htm The "Braveheart Kilt COSTUME". Well, good thing they say costume. It seems to be imitating a small kilt, but I wasn't aware that they were around in old Braveheart's days . And look at that sash thingy. It's so thin it's like a rope.

    Quentin.
    I wear a SWK heavy wool in Black Stewart I love it. I highly recommend them, just wish they had more tartan options for their wool kilts.

    The sporran on the Braveheart costume is hilarious. It appears to be the size of a cellphone.

    I know. I was lucky I wasn't drinking coffee when I saw that.
