Having received one of the new Essential Persevere Kilts in Thistle Blue tartan I’m amazed how much kilt you can get for £60 plus a minor freight cost. The kilt is very well made, and I have already been wearing it a lot. You might wonder why you should ever pay at least £170 more to have a 5 yard KiltSociety Custom Made kilt. Well, you have hundreds of tartans to choose, you have a wool kilt made-to-your-measures, and not surprisingly, the pleats will be better aligned. But is it good enough, then? It more than is. I can think of very few situations where I should not feel happy wearing it. An advice; if you are, say one inch above kilt sizes, you should go down one size. I wish I had. The customer service by KiltSociety is excellent. Questions were answered immediately, the kilt was shipped just two hours after ordering, on a Friday and it was delivered in Denmark on the following Tuesday. One week after dispatching I was asked about my experience. It cannot be better. Product and vendor highly to recommend.
