I think, Colin, you received the 36" also, as Mark said he had no 34's at this time. I hope the new one will fit you better, and will have nicer pleating...possibly to the orange line!??? Here's a pic of me:
Yes, I'd say overall construction is acceptable but not amazing. It is a frugal price point, so I'm not too surprised really This kilt will probably get a lot of use around the house and perhaps at the pub though! I really like the idea of having a less expensive kilt around so I can keep my wool ones clean and ready for dressier events.

I've also got the 36", which is still too big even with an extra set of holes on the straps and a thick woolen shirt. Apparently the ol' student budget has caused me to inadvertently be on a bit of a diet... I measured my waist and I'm an inch smaller than the last time I checked.

Regardless, I look forward to getting a NWI kilt in a better size and probably to the orange stripe, though no stripe would look good too, no?
