USA kilt vs Sport kilt

**saecoman99** · 26th January 08, 01:33 PM

as an owner of 11 kilts now 3 from USA kilts, 3 SWk ,1 Ameri kilt and 3 others. I went looking and decided to purchase a sport kilt got the locknesh
but the quality is far from close to the USA for the same money I was disapointed from what i saw in the ads and what I got. So I guess i will stick with Rocky I can drive and see him and pick mine out there.

Sport Kilt: The sweat pants of kilts. Sure, you wouldn't wear them with like a tux, but they still feel good.

I think of them more as the cargo shorts of kilts. But then, a bad analogy is like a leaky screwdriver.

I like that one! That's pretty much the duty my SKs do now.

Some time back I did a head to head comparison of USA Kilts Casual model to SportKilt with sewn down pleats. I'm out of town on the Hopi rez today, not sure how to find it. I've purchased two gathered Sportkilts, a sewn down seam Sportkilt and 17 USA Kilts.

OK... Crap. I just bought myself a Sport Kilt. Eh, I know I'll like it. I like the whole look of it better than the USAK casual. I'm getting a USAK semi trad, though.

There is another thread about gardening in a kilt. Maybe the sport kilt for working in the garden? The more expensive kilts for "clean" activities....like hanging out at the local pub....

They're comfortable, good for not worrying about alot. good starter kilts, the sportkilt was my first one.

I dunno, if you can do somethings with it the SportKilt can look classy.

I bought a Sport Kilt about a year ago,and it fit OK when I tried it on,but than I washed it as I do all new kilts to soften them up a bit before I wear them,and than it became about three inches to small in the waist line.

I e-mailed Sport Kilt,and they did agree to exchange it and cover the shipping,but of course I had allready washed it so that was out.

This was a camo canvas like material so it should not have shrunk.
I washed it as instructed.Cold water-cold rinse.

I will not lay all the blame on Sport Kilt,but they should warn if its that type material to go a few sizes larger when ordering.

Have had no problem with my SWKs and Amerikilts.

Still to make first try with USA,but will be ordering three very soon.

BTW -Has anyone noticed or does anyone own the Division one Kilt that USA Kilts offers?
Never noticed it before when checking the website.Is it new?.

That is a very nice looking Kilt.
