Hello from Pennsylvania

Hello my name is John.
I've wanted to start wearing kilts for a while and have been following this blog for a couple of months. I am extremely excited to be buying my first kilt! But I am also very nervous. I don't have a lot of spending money (I am a college student that is paying his own way) and i want to get a kilt but i want it to have some quality to it. I am currently looking at the Stillwaters economy kilt and also at Heritage of Scotlands Summer outfit package. If anyone has any knowledge or suggestions i would love to learn

.
Thanks in Advance

Greetings from Lancaster, PA!

I would suggest you check out USA Kilts Casual as well as the others you listed. You can get a kilt actually made for you rather than an off-the-rack size. (I only own four or five.) If you live in the southeastern part of the state Rocky's store is worth a visit.

I would not recommend going with the Summer outfit package. Most packages, that are inexpensive, are not worth having. As You are in Pa. I would suggest contacting USAKilts. They are also in Pa. and their casual kilts are quite nice and not that expensive and they are poly-viscose and not acrylic.

From Reno, NV. I purchased my first package from Buyakilt.com. An Xmarks sponsor Excellent service and they have the same budget kilts as Heritage of Scotland. Since being on this forum I have learned a lot. One of the most important things you'll learn is "you get what you pay for". I have a couple of kilts from HoS they are for hiking, working in the yard and general knocking about. I have two from USAkilts, They are AWESOME and made to my measurements I use them for my nicer activities.

Have fun and beware the addiction

from Oklahoma!

Might I suggest USAK? They are among the forum sponsors and are located in Spring City, PA. Not sure how far that is from you, but might be well worth the drive to get a properly fit kilt. Whether it's off the rack or a casual made to measure (my recommendation if you are on a tight student budget), Rocky and the guys over at USAK will be able to get you set up right and proper!

Best of luck on the hunt, and again...welcome.
