Your Thoughts of the following

If I remember correctly the USAKilts casual cost me around $120 with shipping.. So keeping under budget is feasable... There is a difference between the SWK and USA Kilts casual.... But for wearing out and about, pub nights, rough and tumble outings, having a wash and wear kilt.. The USAK is very hard to beat.. The casual model.

I have had the SWK Standard in Saffron and have since sold it off.. It's not a PV kilt, it's acryllic, and it does wrinkle... if you do go with SWK please seriously consider the heavyweight.. wool is better to work with.

SWK is definitely the way to go for the USD ($$). I just purchased a SWK Irish National and it's awesome....looks very much like wool and feels like it, too. Great service, by the way.

The Irish National is different from Ireland's National...look at them both closely, and you'll see the difference. The Irish National is from House of Edgar (trade mark) and seems to be more vibrant in color. Ireland's National has too much white in it for my liking.

Oh, they are made in Pakistan, at least mine was.

SWK has had many positive comments on this site for their Saffron, too. Tough decision, eh????
