I'm considering sending a kilt to SWK

[cavscout]

If you are comparing an $80 off-the-peg acrylic kilt to a 16 oz. hand sewn wool traditional, I don't think you are anywhere near apples to apples.

Step up to a $120 Heavy Weight and you will see a tremendous difference in product. Still not apples to apples as it is not made to your measurements and the wool may not be as fine a weave, but for just over $100 US... show me a better kilt at that price point with the same specs.

If spending $700 on a wool hand sewn kilt is what it takes to make you feel properly dressed, go for it. But a Stillwater will do in a pinch for a night at the pub. Realistically, the general public is not going to know the difference, nor care and my hind end will be covered either way.

still water kilts may have fast delivery but they are still cheap crappy kilts! Honestly I really don't understand why you guys have such a love affair with these things?????

I bet you're a load of laughs at parties.

That was a real zinger. Such wit! (he says sarcasticly.)

I don't like the discount store that starts with WAL, I prefer Target and wish I could afford Lord and Taylor. But I don't put down Wal**** or others who choose to shop there. Instead I keep it to myself and shop elsewhere.

That being said, can I have the keys to the wormhole Jerry so i can go back and start Rogaine at about 27?

When you start out it's all about budget - so much to buy and not enough money. Nobody wants to spend £500 on a garment that they might not like and might never wear again. There aren't many people in the world who's first car was a Rolls Royce, but there are a vast number who had a second-hand Mini or a Fiat 500. As an entry level kilt they are not bad.

Well said, Chas.

But back to the original subject, I would like to see the outcome of this experiment!

I'm glad you clarified! I had no idea you were being sarcastic!

A. Being vowed to poverty/frugality/simplicity there is no way on God's green earth that I could justify hundreds of dollars for a Kilt. My flock would see it as a scandalous expense, and besides, my Guardian Angel is a sneak and would tell the Boss.... Stillwater and Frugal Corner are a Godsend for those in my situation.
By all means enjoy your handsewn pure woollen kilts, and more power to you; but let me enjoy what I can afford. Yay SWK & FC!!!

B. A Kilt to Jerry??? Oh no! you will totally destroy the delicate Space/Time continuum, reducing the delivery Fairies & Gnomes into green mush. The entire universe will then swiftly dissolve, imploding on itself to a microcentric point as before God snapped His fingers & created the Big Bang! WE ARE ALL DOOMED!

The Ancient Cosmic Law is: Jerry sends things to us; we do not send things to him the Universe runs smoother that way......

(As you can tell, I've fully recovered - Cancer still all gone)

ahhh but if your flock really loved you they'd all chip in together and get you one...even Jesus wore a seamless one piece tunic, a fine garment for the day

If anyone has seen the new StarTrek movie; that's what would happen if you sent a kilt to Jerry. There would be a tear in the universe resulting in an alternate time/space continum.

DON'T DO IT!!!!
