When evaluating a kilt purchase, ask yourself these questions.

What do I want to do with this thing?
If you want to work in the yard, hike in the deep bush, and wash it in a stream, that rules out a traditional wool kilt.
If you want to dress up, go to dinner at a good restaurant, or attend a function where a suit is appropriate, then you can rule out some casual kilts.

Do I need pockets?
Some guys just need pockets. Traditional kilts don't have them. This is the dividing line between the traditional and contemporary kilt. Traditional styles need and look better with a sporran. Some guys like a sporran and spend as much time and money on the sporran as on the kilt. And some think a cargo pocket on a kilt an abomination.

Do I need swish?
It is the swish of those perfect pleats that screams KILT! If you can't afford a traditional hand sewn wool kilt, but have to have swish, then Poly/Viscose is the next best thing. Most Cotton and Cotton blends will move, and some get close to swish, but 12 oz canvas is stiff, even after several washings with 'Downey'.

Do I need STUFF?
A traditional style kilt is a beautiful, plain, unadorned garment. They were designed to showcase the tartan. It is the accessories that you add like sporrans, hose, and jackets, that give it it's distinctive look. The other end of the spectrum are the kilts that have so much STUFF that the STUFF becomes the focal point. Even at times so much so that you can't see that there is something called a kilt under all the STUFF.

I hope this helps you narrow your choice. After all this, the best advise you will find on this forum is, TALK TO YOUR KILTMAKER!!!
Kilts are very personal garments. Pictures on a web site and advertising slogans will not insure you get exactly what you want in a kilt. Talking to the person who will make your kilt is the only way I know of insuring your needs and desires are met.
