    Me Too

    Hope there's some response Adam.

    Last weekend I was all set to compare the USA casual with SportKilt. Stillwater was not in the running due to the length being one size, and sadly wrong for me.

    After a couple days of figuring out what to get was just ready to order one USA casual and one SportKilt (the new with custom length, belt loops, sewn pleats etc). Then I realized that for the money I could have on USA Semi-Traditional that I'd probably feel better wearing to the office and did that instead.

    Would be great to see a comparison between USA casual, Stillwater, and SportKilt's new offering.

    This is what finally had me going to a USAK isntead. I have also heard from several people that weight is an issue with Sportkilt --one mustn't have one's kilt flying over one's head in the wind!

    I think I am right in considering a custom fit as opposed to one-size fits all sizing (such as, L, XL, etc.). With kilts, I would guess that exact sizing will be more important.

    If I am going to spend $100 on a Sportkilt I might as well spend $125 on a custom-sized kilt from Rocky.

    I would like to hear from some kiltmakers about this new Sportkilt, though.

    I think that they are comparing the sportkilt to the usa philabeg which is $110 plus international shipping of $15. But which is totally off the topic of the thread which is USA v. SW standard.
