On the fence between casual or semi-trad

[Andrew Green]

Yes, both would have their merits. Right now, I am looking for something comfy, and relaitvely inexpensive (I know $240 for a semi-tarditional isn't expensive). But I really want to give the casual a try.
Rocky, thanks for chiming in. I was trying to get some feedback and opinions on the forums, because I had already shot you a number of emails! Ha ha ha. No one worries about the fringe, so I won't worry about the fringe.
Colin: Nope, not my only kilt, nor will it be for some time. I want to get one to check out a new (to me) kiltmaker who has a very good reputation on the boards. Also, I have read that you can wear the casual where ever you want to on the waist, as all of that is up to you, and where you measure.

This is true. Some wear it low like pants. I wear my Casual higher like a traditional kilt (with the top edge two inches about my navel).

Well, I went ahead, and ordered a USA Kilts casual kilt. I ordered it in the Caledonia tartan. Bonus... Rocky told me that the Caledonia fabric has a kilting selvedge on it... but that is the exception not the rule. Should be a neat piece.
