    I too have one of their Casual kilts. Of the two which I have, it is my farorite. The only fault I have found with it is that the apron seems just a little too wide for my tastes. But, I'm definitely no kilt expert, so maybe it is the correct width. With the kilt centered, the outer apron hits just at the outside of both knees. I alos have the misfortune, to fall between two standard sizes, so I usually wind up with my kilts beeing the larger of the two and even with the 3 starps adjusted to the tightest hole, they are just a bit looser than I like. Mine are size 48". 47" would be just perfect.

    Scottishkilts has a very good product at a good price. You won't be disappointed with their casual kilt and it will be a great deal better than any cotton kilt. Now, having had some experience since I bought it I'd opt for an 8 yard kilt as first choice but the casual I got from scottishkilts is far from disappointing and I've worn it to weddings and funerals and gotten lots of compliments on it. It's well made of very good quality materials. If you want to save a few bucks it's a good way to go.
