    I'm with the save a bit more guys. You get what you pay for. If you're gonna wear it to work look nice.

    Until the recent unpleasantness I wore kilts to work for three years. USA Casuals, semi-trads, UKs, AKs, FKs, and hand sewns. I pretty much sit for a living. Never a problem. And, I have a gut too.

    I like the USA casuals and wear them under my gut. But, I've since become hooked on the USA semi-trads. If I had it to do all over again I would have put my money in some of the sharp looking tartans in the semi-trads. But that's just me. My original intent was to buy a bunch of casuals to provide a variety of looks since I wore them daily.

    If you sit for a living too, you can count on the USA casuals or semi-trads holding up well, not pilling, and being able to easily steam out any wrinkles at the end of the day.

    Its not the office, but here's a shot of my gut and the USA Kilts casual warrior tartan.




    And, if you do decide to go with the USA Casual or semi-trad save even more and go for the matching flashes when you order. Flashes really can dress up a casual kilt if they're well made.
