I have a bit of experience with this: though I've worn traditional kilts (bespoke, hand sewn, full yardage, wool) almost exclusively since 1975 I've made a few forays into modern kiltish styles, all of which I've regretted.
In my experience only bespoke traditional handsewn wool kilts fit exactly the way kilts should fit.
"Casual" and "semi-trad" kilts often do a good job of mimicking the outward appearance of traditional kilts, but they're not constructed like real kilts on the inside. The telling thing is the fit.
My advice, based on over 45 years of kilt wearing, is to go for a kilt, a genuine traditional kilt, handsewn by a real traditional kilt maker, who doesn't cut corners.
Yes it costs more! But do you want to spend your kiltwearing time putting around in a Yugo?
