    They sometimes pop upon ebay, not too keen, perhaps it's because there is a St. in the name.

    I've taken members advice and gone for one of your casuals in Celtic Nations instead of a sports kilt. Postage was about the same and although yours is a bit more expensive and won't have the straps, it should be fine for walking the dogs and home use next summer. My waist size varies from 40 down to 38, I guess the hip size will vary a bit too. Is there much adjustment? I sized it for the bigger size assuming its easier to go down a couple of inches instead of up, though 38 is my goal size. Also followino Chaps comment, I've gone for pleating to stripe. I only hope I don't have to pay a small fortune when it goes through Spanish customs but at least I've got time to save up for it.

    Hello there Mel,

    I've just received one of the Glyndwr Casuals from USA Kilts ( off the rack)and I have got to say it's really, really nice. I'm planning on it making the trip at the end of the week to Florida. (Photo's will follow at some point).Yes, it does seem a tad dark, and seems to be a dog hair magnet, lol but very well built and versatile. I had Lucas set it up with the wide belt loops and with the smaller ones directly beneath so I could run a traditional Kilt belt, as well as a 1 1/2 inch belt. Should be easy to dress up and still be more than capable of going casual. The Celtic Nations is another fine tartan. Should be really sharp set to the stripe. I'm sure you'll be very happy with your choice, great people there at USAK.

    Wear it in good health my friend. And good luck with customs.

    I'll look forward to seeing some photos of it after your trip. My own plaid looked much better in real life. Internet pictures don't do it justice. Its good to hear you're pleased with the USA kilt. It'll be some time before I get mine. I don't see why you had 2 sets of belt loops. Surely you could have used the normal belt loops for a narrow belt? This fastens with velcro doesn't it? How does it look without straps? I suppose it doesn't show once you have a belt and sporran in place. Have a good holiday in Florida.
