A couple months ago I took a half gallon jug full of coins in to be counted and came away with just about enough funds for a new kilt from USA Kilts. After sending away for some swatches (Black Watch, Scottish National and Buccleuch) I decided on the Scottish National and placed my order 3/31. Just last week (5/20), ahead of schedule and in the midst of Rocky's honeymoon, the new kilt arrived.
This is my second casual kilt from USAK and like the first it fits beautifully. The weight and feel of the PV is wonderful in the hot and humid weather we're having.

Here's a pic of the apron, though the colors may not be true due to camera, lighting and your monitor:


Here's a pic of the pleats:


This is the only bit where I'm a bit confused/disappointed. This might be my own ignorance about the art and mechanics of making a kilt, but the sett isn't centered on the rear of the kilt. I counted pleats and the rear belt loop is in the center of the kilt. It's not a huge deal and I might not have noticed if the tartan of the belt loop matched the portion of the sett it's attached to.


Is this just a function of getting my waist size and the tartan's sett to work together in a kilt? I know a lot of it just has to do with my issues with always wanting everything centered and even. As I said, the products and customer service Rocky, Kelly and Mac offer are beyond incredible. I'm just hoping someone can explain this one little thing to me.
I'll try to get a pic up of me actually wearing the kilt soon. I've been wearing it just about every evening when I get home and my fiancee has asked if my other kilts are feeling neglected.
Thanks again, USAK!
