    Rocky at USA kilts has a great product and will show you some great customer service as well.
    This is exactly where I'm at. The one and only thing that would tempt me to spend money on another Sport Kilt is the fact that they have the Clare County tartan, which is where my mother's family, being Leddy's, is from. Otherwise, I would never buy another one. My wife has two of their skirts and loves them, so I would buy more womens clothes from them, but for me? I'd get a USAK casual. Same price, vastly superior product.

    I looked and I didn't see the Clare Tartan that you referenced. I see the Cork but not the Clare. Where did you see it?

    That's what I saw too, I thought maybe I was going crazy.

    And I picked a good one to start apparently.

    This is going to sound odd. My USMC Sportkilt is one of my absolute most-worn kilts. I get a TON of use out of it. When I'm working in the yard, when I'm hiking at the park, when I'm lounging around the house With the "sewn down pleats" (i.e., the fell sewn in) it is actually passable out in public.

    My other two USMC kilts are from USA Kilts and Matt Newsome, a five yard, thirteen ounce knife pleated kilt, and a four yard, sixteen ounce, box pleated kilt respectively. These, my friends, are KILTS. Rocky (or Kelly) machine sewed the thirteen ouncer, and Matt hand-sewed the box pleat, but each was made to my measurements.

    This is a roundabout way of saying, "Why not get both?"

    If I was going to get only one, there's no question in my mind that I'd go with Rocky and Kelly at USA Kilts. Good prices, great work, nice guys, good cause.
