Thanks for the feedback. I think I will definitely go with a USAK casual, because of the extra cost of sewn-down pleats, belt loops, etc, not to mention I'd have to pay tax here in California. $110.00 is not much in the long run, and when Autumn arrives I'll be ready for an SWK Standard or two. Unless of course SWK gets a wool heavyweight in the Irish National tartan, or I come up with the money to commision a kilt from Kathy . . . I can always hope
