traditional hand sewn kilt
I own 2 different 8 yard traditional kilts: MacGregor Ancient from House Of edgar, and MacFarlane Hunting Modern from Strathmore. The house of Edgar tartan are a little more stiff, whereas the Strathmore is a little softer. Lochcarron by far is the softest out of the 3 mills. Mine are all in 13 ounce Medium Weight material, perfect for where I live in maine. I think the swing has nothing to do with the mill. It depends on how you take your hip measurement. The looser you make your hip measurement, the more swing you have. The Casual kilts have less pleats than the Traditional kilts, and also have less swing because they have less material. Both of these kilts are hand made, not machine stitched

P.S. Also if you order an 8 yard kilt, I would make my waist measurement a little less compared to a casual kilt, because you may have 2-3 yards more than a casual kilt has.
