Gallician,
The semi-traditional kilts have a higher rise, more material (therefore more and smaller pleats), wider belt/sporran loops, and leather straps and buckles.
The casuals are meant to be worn lower on the hips, have less material, smaller belt loops, and use a velcro closure system.
I am fairly certain that both are machine sewn.
