I intentionally got a cheap PV kilt for slobbing around in generally. I know it is machined but it does have the taper and double fringe. The pleats are fairly deep though it is only 'casual' in that it has 16 pleats. It's fine for what I wanted, but you've got me wondering now What other features should I look out for on the cr*p list before I ever risk being seen in public?
