    A third recommendation for Stillwater. Great prices for some really nice kilts.

    Honestly bro, I've never heard anyone being disappointed with SWK. I own 2 of them and I think they're awesome.

    Hey Dale,

    If you are thinking more of a contemporary styled kilt, think Freedom Kilts. They are a little more $ but are made to your sizing. I have heard nothing but good things about them. click on their ad above.

    As far as more traditional styled kilt, USA Kilt and SWK are two very good options for your $. To me, there are 2 items to help you decide:
    1. do you want the kilt sized to your measurements (aka USA Kilt)
    2. is 24" standard length of a SWK okay for you.

    USA Kilt has more tartan choices as well.

    Have fun with your choosing.

    I guess I am shorter than others, or something. My other two kilts are 21" and I have to wear them way above my naval to make them come to mid knee or to the top of my knee, and I even paid to have them shortened to 21 inches.

    I am looking into all the options mentioned so far. It is as bad as doing plumbing, SO Many choices and you have to have the right part. ha ha

    DALE.

    Post Which kilt is recommended?

    I have a traditional ($700Cdn) MacIntosh hunting kilt, along with a tan and a Stewart black SportKilt. I'm looking to buy a couple more kilts for this year and am trying to get feedback from threads/bbs such as this one. SportKilts are fine, but I'm not keen on the elastic back on them. For a traditional fit and feel, what do you "MUGgers" think of USAKilts and NeoKilts? A black kilt could be one of my choices, and since I'm of the MacIntosh clan, I couldn't wear any of the other clan tartans offered (except district tartans, Stewart, Black Watch...)

    I'm looking at the Renegade Kilts, and they look good, too. Anyone have one and wish to comment a comparison?

    No, I haven't found any yet, thus my middle paragraph in the origional post of mine for this thread. I have to do more research, but haven't had time.

    DALE.
