don't wanna hijack (sorry OP) -- but, what do you mean about Sport Kilt picture / quality disparity?

I'm intrigued because I'm considering getting a SK and the pictures looked fine to me. Are you saying they're NOT as good as the pics or are they even BETTER?

I want a "sport" kilt, not one for classy events. One for working a beer festival where I'll get beer spilled on me, set up tents, haul beer kegs, haul ice, basically "work" in the kilt in the heat of the summer -- bit, look good doing it.

To the OP: what exactly are you trying to buy? You mentioned "kilt skirt" - that appears to be an oxymoron. You also stated you want a mini skirt with a tartan design. Are you aware that a mini skirt is NOT a kilt? I'm not trying to be a smarty pants or sarcastic. I'm genuinely asking. Are you female and are actually looking for a skirt? Are you male and desiring a kilt? please elaborate so we can help.

Kilt4beer, I think what Nighthawk means--and this was my experience with them--their kilts look as good as, if not better than, many other's made-to-measure kilts on the website. But when you get them they're more like sweatpants with pleats. They're universal fit, meaning they universally don't fit anyone very well. Their customer service is good, but the product is sub-par. I bought one kilt from them and can't recommend them. Spend the extra $20 and get a USAK casual...much better product, and it will fit you because it's made for you.

I'll answer the question for you. I have two sport kilts and they are good for what you are talking about (keg work) and for working out but they are pretty light so if fly up would be an issue wear shorts under.

Those provide a great chance to dress up without breaking the bank, especially when one just starts wearing kilts and is unfamiliar with the options out there.

For having beer dumped on you, they have a bargain basement version which might work.

Are you perhaps confusing Sport Kilt and Stillwater Kilts?
