    I think you'd look good in the goth pvc.
    Well if only I was thirty years younger I might. The goth pvc kilt is only availabe in sizes up to 36 inch waist, or eXtra Large as they label it, whereas I'm a portly 39" waist so just as well I don't want one as I wouldn't find one to fit. Yes these kilts are really cheap, and he usually has about 300 listed so you can usually find something in a suitable size and tartan for a casual kilt but do bear in mind they are probably made in Pakistan and no way can they be expected to match the quality of a Scottish wool kilt.

    The Utilikilt is sometimes described as "the blue jeans of the kilt world". I wear my Utilikilt for exactly the situation you describe. It flairs out enough to be comfortable lounging around. It doesn't need a sporran but it has deep pockets for wallet, keys and other necessaries.

    A Stillwater kilt would be my suggestion.

    Can'ti disagree with this one. I thought I was a tartan hardcase until my wife bught me a UK. I use it for nearly all travel, wear it for errands, housework, lounging, etc. I have a Mocker and it is extremely comfy and versatile.

    Oh I concur with the quality but this is for lounging around. A concern with cotton kilts are that they are easily wrinkled, I do not know if acrylic will stand up much better though. Another option could be R kilts and their hemp kilts. It is one that I am considering for a knock around kilt, unfortunately $300cdn is a hard pill to swallow but are made to last, and last, and last...

    If there is anything tougher out there than a hemp RKilt, I'd like to see it.

    I have fallen madly and deeply in love with my hemp kilt. It is... It is just perfect. The price should not be a concern. You will fall apart long before your kilt ever will.

    Strapping on the hemp kilt feels like buckling on a suit of armor... It is stiff and heavy. Strong. Secure. You feel sheltered. Snug. Safe. It does crazy things for your confidence, like a bottle of mezcal. The solid heft and weight hanging off of your hips adds a little swagger to your walk.

    And it drives the wimmins wild.
