I was a bit apprehensive, considering that they are about 35€ each and the store is located(thus shipped from) the UK. I did not have to pay anything extra to get them through customs, which I was glad for, but shipping was about 20€.
They had surprisingly good reviews and all the bad ones seemed to be size related from people that ordered their standard trouser size. The reseller did contact me prior to shipping to confirm the size I had ordered so thats another plus.
I have been looking around at the very cheap segment, trying to find something suitable for everyday casual wear - just to get out skirted more since my wife does not approve of my more prefered styles of skirts, main point is getting rid of that inseam afterall, so just get some that she does accept for everyday wear right? Happy wife, happy life and all.
I got one in Gray(I could'nt find a name for the tartan, but I'm sure it has one) and one in Blackwatch. I have a cheap one(Also about 35€) in the more standard royal stewart tartan since before(but its only about 2m of fabric at the hem, so its really a wrap skirt and not a kilt, but if it gets them sold to men right?
) that I'm comparing to.I did measure the hem, and it clocks in close enough to 5yd that its probably my conversion thats off. They are true to size, and are adjustable to 2" larger, I thought it would be 1" either way, if I order more from them I will pick the next size down for a more snug fit, but these fit as they should at the smallest holes. The material is a medium weight acrylic wool(i was dreading that they might be printed polyester). I can't complain about the sewing, its done well, even the shipping stiches to hold down the pleats were done very well and took a bit of effort to get out. The buckles seem to be of decent quality and should hold up well.
I'll see if I can get some decent pictures up of me wearing them later on, today its pouring down so its both wet and dark.
