Question regarding material and construction options

[Mathew MacKillop]

I am hoping to get a response from Rocky, "The Man" himself; Given that it is his company I would imagine his answers would be the most precise!

I am strongly considering making USAKilts my go-to kilt makers, but have a few questions regarding certain models:

1. The Casual: First, is it possible to have it made to sit on the kilt waist and not the jeans waist? Is this just a matter of providing the correct waist/length measurements?
I would also like to have a better idea of what the material truly looks like and feels like. The reason for this is that my sleeve linings of my winter coat are also a PV mix (52%/48%), which while not the same mix as the Casual Kilt, is close. I do not know if this material can be woven in various ways, or if the weight of the fabric has a lot to do with it, but it seems to me that this material in no way could fool even the uninitiated into thinking it is wool. I really hope I am wrong and that the PV used in the Kilts is very different from what I see in my coat. Perhaps a closeup picture of the material placed next to some nice wool would give me the perspective I seek?

2. The 5 yard Wool: Is it possible to get one of these with plain straps? I am never a fan of ornamentation, and it may seem silly but the embossed straps are a complete turn-off for me, and would sadly be a deal-breaker on what otherwise seems an excellent product for a very fair price.

Thank You!
