Some of my first kilts were AmeriKilts. Think I had four or five..."out grew" them and they've moved on to smaller waisted men. I liked them...they are what they are. I found they dressed up well with vests and sweaters as well as being a basic kilt good for hiking and chores.

Mike Butler, the owner, is a good man, even called me personally when I ordered up three at a time. Don't ever remember seeing a post about poor service or quality. You can double check by searching this board for AmeriKilt and see what you turn up.

He also offers the best value in basic kilt belts that I've ever found. Think a beltmaker down in Virginia makes them for him. Come in black or brown. Fine quality belts at a fair price. Great value. Liked them so well when I got fat I reordered longer ones from Mike.

Guess it was four kilts. Here are pics...been about five years and was using a disposable camera back then.



Black AmeriKilt with a Pendleton vest.



Forest Green AmeriKilt with another Pendleton vest...also wore this kilt to a funeral with a sweater.



Putty AmeriKilt - sort of a War2 American Khaki color. Think they've changed the shade since.



Tiger Stripe AmeriKilt. This was very light and a great summer kilt. Don't think its available anymore.

You can mix and match the cloth "sporrans." I also picked up some contrasting color cloth "sporrans" from Mike so I could do a two-tone look with the sporran...tan sporran with black kilt, forest green sporran with putty kilt.

Any how, to the question; Mike Butler's a good man with a quality kilt for a less expensive kilt.

And putting weighted clips on the pleats while the kilt dries will reduce the pleat curl effect.
