Andrew,

As has been said, you can't go wrong. Much depends on where you live and what you intend to wear the kilt for.

I waited WAY too long to order my first USA Kilt. Figured all the praise was just shilling. I started with a semi-traditional, liked it and got another. Then finally got around to ordering a casual and liked it so well I've ordered ten of them so far. Have 8 in and two on order. And, I added another Semi-traditional.

Have pics in my galleries if that helps, but have to add pics of the last three casuals this week on my trip to Tucson.

Casuals are just that. Semi-traditionals are just that. And be sure to check the tartans available for both models...there are some tartans on the casual list that aren't on the semi-trad list, but both are available either way. Like I have a Prince of Wales in the Casual.

My suggestion is to order one of each and then see which you want more of...my guess is you'll want more of both.

There are some threads with a lot of great info on USA kilts with comparisons farther back on this forum.

Don't be dumb like I was and wait too long.

And, get you a Black and Decker Gizmo to steam out the few wrinkles you'll get. PV responds to steam like a dream.
