How did I miss this thread?
I have a traditional woolen ~8 yd, 13 oz, handmade kilt. I also have a 4 yd PV Bear kilt. Both kilts are well made and I like them both. Having said that, I must say that when I am out and about, I wear the traditional kilt. Generally I wear it causually. It feels great and looks great. Based on the number of compliments I have received, other people seem to agree with me about its looks.

Latest compliment was last Sunday at the airport. While a friend was checking in, my girlfriend and I were leaning on a rail next to the excalator. A woman(probably in her late 30's) came up and said, "I just had to stop by and let you know that I think your kilt is gorgeous."
