But then, you can't grow a beard for your kilt...

Nix on the SportKilt for sure - especially if you get the inexpensive gathered one...even paying for "pleats" there'll be a lot less than on a USA Kilts semi-traditional



Here's a pic of my USA Kilts polyviscose semi-trad in Army tartan...no way will you get pleats like that from even a "top of the line" SportKilt.

If the Army tartan kilt is meaningful to you, and you have the time to wait. Why not invest in a hand sewn wool?

This is my Leatherneck tartan hand sewn wool kilt. I went top of the line because of how meaningful the tartan is to me and my family.



Kathy Lare of Kathy's Kilts in Albuquerque sewed this one up, but there are many fine hand sewn kiltmakers to choose from.

Semper Fi,
