I am in the market for my first kilt.

I'm looking at USAKilts Casual for everyday use and since the town is so casual, the entry cost is low, and I can figure out how much I will wear it.

But I'm also looking at the Semi-Traditional.

I've read their Which Kilt is Right for Me page a number of times. The semi has more material, straps vs velcro closure, more & narrower pleats than the casual; and it's $120 more.

What are the other objective and subjective differences between them? -- e.g. the look, feel, swing.

Thanks,
