I have convinced my husband to get one as well! YAY! I have searched and searched the threads here to try to determine the best kilt to buy as a first kilt for someone who is a bit tentative. While I know opinions vary on the different merchants, perhaps it is the features about which I need to know. For example, will he be happiest with a kilt that has the pleats sewn down?
I'd love to get his and my son's kilts from the same vendor, but I may be limited by my time constraints on my son's kilt--Stillwater may not get his size in in time. So I may have to go with Frugal Corner or Sportkilt for my son.
The choices boggle the mind.
Until I know whther he'll be comfortable in one (husband, that is) I think the top end of what we'd buy for him is a USA Casual, with the others I've considered: Sport Kilt "the works" and Stillwater Standard. If a SW Economy would do the job, I'd consider that, as well, but they don't have what he'd want right now....
I guess, to make the long post longer, I want to get a kilt that will encourage him to wear one, not make him shy away.
So do the features make that big of a difference? What are the features that you like best?
Thanks!
