Review: Skye Highland Outfitters 8 yard PV

**Tobus** · 13th March 10, 01:40 PM

Thank you everyone for your answers on my pleat stitching question.

I am sorry I am having difficulty with the irony of the kilt being sewn from cloth woven in England, with thread made in Germany, by a California kiltmaker who has the signature line "If its not Scottish, its crap."

It's a funny line from the movie "So I Married an Axe Murderer". If you haven't seen it, it's a hilarious movie. Mike Myers' impression of the Scottish father (with his Scottish Wall of Fame) is great. I suspect Josh has it in his sig line as a bit of humor.

So it stands to reason that your Made-to-Measure Skye Highland Outfitters kilt is gonna fit better than any Off-the-Rack sized kilt from any kiltmaker.

That was not the problem with the casual. There were other things that were going on. Not sure why you were brought into that situation. I thought that that issue had been resolved and forgotten.

As I stated in the beginning of my review:

I have owned 3 different kilts before this one: Two eBay kilts which I ended up selling and a USAK casual. Knowing that, you can take my review for what you think it is worth. It is based on the experience with those kilts.

My entire review is based on the experience of those 3 kilts. The USAK fit fine. I did not say specifically what was wrong with those kilts so as to avoid all of this. They all had things I did not like (especially the eBay ones). I am not comparing kilts saying one is better than another. I am just saying those three kilts have influenced how I see my new kilt.

If you have specific questions about the new kilt, I will try my best to answer. However, I do not wish to discuss the other kilts I have had. Lets just focus on the positive of this kilt and kilt maker.

Looks very nice!

Sorry, I was wrong then, apologies. At my age, with my besotted memory, its a poor idea to rely upon it. I loved my drinking, but I miss my brain cells.

Of course any made-to-measure garment is likely to fit a person better than an off-the-rack garment but that appears not to be the issue here.

Good looking kilt. Consider dumping the chain for the sporran and getting a leather belt. Chains can over time ruin a kilt.

I usually wear a leather belt. Found the chain first! I plan on wearing the chain to the formal ball in April. Beyond that, I use the leather belt. Thanks!
