I agree with Rocky; Michael is great guy and makes a quality product. My first kilt was a Saffron AmeriKilt and I loved it.

Like most utility style kilts they're made of a cotton duct type of material. AK's are very ruggedly constructed with a pocket and, of course the pleats are sewn in. There are a couple of reasons that I like the AmeriKilt over other utility type kilts; first, it has a (ay!) pocket, only one (which I find useful) but, it's not bristling with pockets and hardware and stuff. Second, it has a nice straight, wide apron instead of one of those tapered versions found on most others.

It comes with a matching sporran (quite handy actually) that clips on to rings near the belt loops though, I generally wore mine with a traditional style sporran. You can buy one off the rack but, Michael actually makes them to your measured waist and drop if you order one. If you are lucky enough to meet him at his display at one of the East Coast gatherings, Michael will measure you perfectly, himself and, in deed, there might be one in your size/drop on the rack.

I speak in the past tense about mine because at 36", it's too big for me now (I'm 34") and can't be altered or adjusted to fit. There is a small piece of velcro on the overlap that allows a small amount of adjustment but not much, and you can cinch the belt some (but not 2"). I was planning on my son-inlaw taking it over but, it doesn't fit him either so, I'm going to sell it. (will be listing it on XMTS in about two weeks when I get back from a trip)

Anyway, just though I'd share my experience and view.
