Hmm, so the consensus seems to be to go with a USA Kilt for the first one, as it will have to serve duty not only as a casual, but also when I try to dress it up. At least until such time as I might be able to secure a better one.

I looked at the site, and the USA Kilt is quite reasonable in price. At least, the Casual Kilt is, there's just no way I can swing the double cost of the Semi-Traditional right now. Maybe next year. Looking at the pictures it had of the Casual, I notice that it seemed to lack Fringe on the Apron, and the buckles and straps to either side of the apron. I was actually kind of looking forward to the straps and buckles, as I think it really helps pull the look off. Is it difficult to add these things yourself, or is it something they might do for a reasonable fee.

Anyway, thanks for the tips and advice, keep it coming...
