    I like Rocky of USAKilts and have a really nice formal kilt from him, but may be biased as I live in the same town.

    My first kilt was a Burnett's and Struth casual (special sale on 65 tartans). Their casual kilts are 5 yarders, comfortable, and very economical. I bought it as I, like you, wanted to feel my way. I'm not sorry to have done that as the casual kilts are lot lighter than the full length, so it's nice to have the two.

    I will say, take great pains to get the measurements right.

    Hi-
    Josh here. I recommend either my store or Rocky's. Stillwater wool kilts are GREAT for the money, but they have to fit you just right. I happen to have a big butt, so SWK kilts tend to look funny somewhat on me. I have seen some that look terrific on others!

    PErsonally, I think you'd be happier with a PV kilt. The material is just fantastic, and you'll find yourself wearing it the most if you are an "out-and-abouter". If you want something for balls and occasions then a PV or a SWK will do.
