    If SWK won't do the custom length for you than USAK is the way to go. A friend of mine has a Sport kilt the works and for the money I wouldn't order one. Not enough pleats and actually looks very inexpensive up close. But hey that is just my opinion.

    Most "standard" kilts come in 24" and are too long for me also at 22". I have a wonderful lady nearby who charges $25-30 to alter my kilts. So a SWK heavyweight would fit into your overall budget if that were the case. Just a thought.

    Usak

    Go with a USAK. I am wearing my semi-trad right now and am loving it. Excellent craftsmanship and customer service for the price.

    I agree!! Totally! I bought myself a Works sport kilt, and am so disapointed in so many ways. It cost the same as a USAK casual, and is no where near the quality. On the other hand, the skirts I got from SK for my wife are excellent. I would recommend them highly for womens clothing, but for men? No, get a USAK.
