Maybe I should have used the word fashion instead of casual. Any kilt I have should have a classic style, but I can see getting a high & low waisted kilt. I have no desire to own a kilt suited for a scene of "Spartucus".
I have no idea what you're on about.

The difference between 5 yards and 8 yards is 3 yards. In reference to the kilt, it means how much square yardage the kilt is made from. A higher yardage kilt will (generally) have more (smaller) pleats as more material is being used in the (rear) pleated portion of the kilt.
