I have purchased an off the peg economy kilt from USAKilts: Ireland's National Tartan that I wanted for a St. Patrick's Day event. I wanted it for a couple reasons, I have a USAKilts semi-trad, so I'm familiar with the Poly-Viscise fabric they use, and I like it very much. I also didn't mind the Velcro closures as my weight has been fluctuating. I also wanted to have it as a knock around for the house, yard work and hiking ... something I could just toss on rather than shorts or jams. Though I got mine off the peg, USAKilts will also custom fit an economy kilt. I don't know if they'd add an option for straps though, I should have inquired, as I like the traditional look of straps.

Overall, you might pay more, but I couldn't be happier with the product.

Cheers.
