Hi Mark,
The best I can do is send you swatches. My kilts are custom order. This gets you a kilt fitted to you much like a traditional hand sewn kilt.
Keep doing the research. Not all leather kilts are the same. Find out the weight of the leather used, the type. Where is it made? Does the leather stretch? What about the tanning of the leather? How will it stand up to stains and abuse? Does it have a full under apron and over apron? It is it adjustable? How does it fasten velcro or leather straps. What is the quality of those straps? What kind of hardware is used. How much leather is actually used to make up that kilt.
It won't take you long to find that information. Once you are satisfied with the answers you will be happy and can proceed to get a quality leather kilt that will look great for a long time.
Cheers
