My abbreviated view

AK - Good knock-around kilts for casual wear (yardwork, hiking,...) but can look a little skirty. Bottom edge is cut and serged (sp.) so it can have a lot of loose threads. The sporran is a nice option but I'm not a fan of the cloth sporran look. Lowest price of the 3. Use waist and length measurement. Quick delivery. Mike is great to work with!

UK - Heavier fabric than the AK, slash pockets good, hemmed bottom hedge, several styles to choose from, long lead time for delivery, a good bit more expensive depending on style. Use waist and length measurement.


FK - A ton of fabric options, several styles to choose from, about the same price as a UK and you get a tailor made kilt using Waist, Hips and Length so it fits like a glove, many options, excellent quality and a forum supporter.

Check out FK's Indy kilt as a comparable to the AK if budget is tight. Otherwise, skip the UK and go for the FK, you won't regret it.
