2nd Kilt: SWK Std vs USAK Cas vs USAK SemiTrad

[LaphroaigQCFan]

Hello everyone! (First post) I stumbled upon this website after I had already ordered my first kilt, an original Sport Kilt in Ferguson (from my mom's side). I got this primarily for a renaissance festival, but it's so comfortable that I thought I would go ahead and order a 2nd and 3rd kilt for lounging around at home and other occasional events.

I realize these questions have been done repeatedly through all the other posts, but I'm a fan of details when it comes to spending money on a couple kilts.

As nice as an 8 yard wool kilt would be, I don't think I'm ready to spend the money on that quality for a single kilt when my primary use will be casual/lounging about. The sport kilt (poly-acrylic on the tag) I have isn't bad for a first kilt, but I'd like to invest in a kilt with a bit "more" to it (sewn down pleats at a minimum). I've been considering getting an Irish National Tartan kilt and another Ferguson. Going by the many good opinions for these sources, I was initially thinking SWK Standard for the Irish and USAK casual for the Ferguson. After reading other threads, particularly those about acrylic - polyviscose, my initial thought has been replaced with indecisiveness. On one hand, SWK standard offers an 8yrd kilt with fringed edges and leather buckles for a great price due to using acrylic, but it seems most people prefer PV over acrylic for a number of valid reasons. Lounging around in my sport kilt usually creates some wrinkles, so the more wrinkle resistant the better. Then there's the issue of the USAK casual vs semi-traditional. While I expect it does have it as well, I don't recall the description of the semi-traditional including the "Perma-Pleat" system. Certainly, a Ferguson semi-trad would be nice to have, but if someone with both a USAK casual and semitrad could give a thoughtful comparison, it may help me to rationalize the extra expense (or not).

The more exhaustive PRO/CON list the better.

I apologize for what may seem like rambling. Long story short (after you have already read the long story), I am debating between the following: SWK std + USAK cas, SWK std + USAK semitrad, USAK cas + USAK cas, or USAK cas + USAK semitrad. Thanks!
