I agree they are a good value, and I do own the solid green. Throw in that Jerry provides great customer service and speedy delivery the value proposition goes up.
The one caveat I will throw in, is that for the longest time this was my only wool kilt. Now I am lucky enough to own 2 of Keltoi's box pleated kilts. Speaking just to the wool, there is a tremendous difference. The weight, feel, swish etc. So for a person new to kilting (which I certainly was when I got the SWK), don't have the expectation of a worsted wool. But then again you are paying substantially less. Zardoz is also correct about the pleat depth.
