Dylan... RiverKilt has given you the breakdown on the solid kilts.

If you're looking for a tartan kilt that will last, look good, and not cost you a fortune... there's really only three choices.

BearKilts: poly-viscose kilts that come in a variety of styles and tartans. I have the Grizzly cut since it's amazingly original and REAL good looking. They are from Canada.

StillWater Kilts: are a little more "traditional" looking, but you'll need to do some apron altering to make it presentable. The cost will allow the altering.

USAKilts: a variety of tartans and styles. Price won't break you and the quality will survive parties.

SportKilts: are a costume. There are TOO MANY good kilt companies out there for you to waste you money here.

That's the skinny on the affordable tartans from companies with any real selection.
