    Thanks

    Thanks for the warm welcome and considered opinions. The groom has no problem with me purchasing a kilt, so my current plan, pending the arrival of the sample, is to go ahead and purchase the Semi-traditional. If it for some reason seems not to be acceptable, I will rent.

    Thanks again to all who helped out.

    You've made a great choice. There is no rule that says you all have to wear the same tartan, either. Go to my website, http://www.cocelticweddings.com/ , and you can see a picture on the first page of a wedding where all the guys wore rented gear. It shows. It looks very regimented. There's nothing wrong with that by any means, but variety is the spice of life. I recently officiated a wedding where I was the only kilted man. The groom was of French ancestory, and the bride was a Hay. She wanted a kilted minister. It worked out really well, and all the attendants loved it. I just this afternoon got pictures from it. You can see those in the gallery. I brought this up particularly because the kilt I am wearing in those photos is a USAK semi trad Clergy tartan kilt. You can get a good idea of how they hang and look from those pictures. You will LOVE your USAK. I know I do mine.

    After visiting USAK recently, I can tell you that the PV kilts look (to my eye) nearly the same as a wool tank. You will NOT look out of place. The material is great. I was a little skeptical until I saw (and felt) with my own eyes (and hands). You will not be disappointed. Go with the USAK.

    The waiting is the hardest part of ordering a kilt.

    The best part of jonesing for a USAK, is it is well worth the wait. I love my USAK Semi traditional Kilt. The people on the train and bus all think it is a traditional tank, as I get a lot of clan/bagpipe questions. Rocky & Kelley do a superb job.

    I paid the impatience fee so I wouldn't have to wait as long, saw on another thread their que is up to 9 weeks. That would have been fine for the wedding but I didn't think I could wait that long.
