Hey Riverkilt. I think I am going to go with a casual. Something inexpensive... just a way to get a feel for the company. If the bottom end product is nice, it'd be hard to imagine the higher end stuff being bad, ya know. I'll check your photos though. I did look at a customer gallery on the site, and there were a few casuals in there... you could barely notice the fringe. All looked really well made, and everyone seemed very happy with them. I emailed Rocky and asked what tartans are available in PV. That should shed a little light on things.
