    I'm just a simple guy originally from the farm land north of Kokomo, but I'm a USAK fan. I spent quite a bit of my combat pay/non-taxed money (Thanks Uncle Sam!) in Pheonixville while home on leave. I've putting the pleats through stress tests by sitting on them a lot. All come out just fine, haven't even had to re-press them. I recommend the semi-trads. They are a bit more, but really nice and well worth it.

    Oh yeah, there is nothing wrong with admitting that Black and Old Gold is far superior to that tacky Red and White they have down south.

    I own neither, but have seen both USAK and SK and have to say that the hands down winner is the USAK.

    I do own kilts from both SWK and FC, and love them. They are more cost effective than the USAK (at least the 13 oz. acrylic, which seems like it would be better for sports).

    The Economy or Thrifty SWK is a good kilt (about $35), but so is the FC 13 oz. (about $60) FC has a much wider tartan selection, but if you order from them, make sure your size is in stock (in other words, call them).

    I, personally, would prefer an SWK or FC to a SK any day. Just my personal preference, though.

    I have been thinking of buying a tartan kilt too.

    I read through all of the responses...helpful info, but...

    I have a question for the more knowlegeable...

    What about Bear Kilts? He is back up and running. Are there any reviews of his kilts?

    USA Kilts - The best in my mind

    One other thing in USAKilts favor not mentioned is the PV anti-stain qualities. I know personally that the PV is impervious to chocolate, barbeque sauce, bicycle grease, hot wort, hot mead must, sawdust, blood and aioli.
    If they outlaw guns, can we go back to using swords?

    [QUOTE=Verlyn;587504] I know personally that the PV is impervious to hot wort, hot mead must, QUOTE]

    What about the other stuff, like COLD mead/beer

    Does the teflon change how the kilt "moves", or affect pleatholding, etc at all?
