Sportkilt semi-formal?

[Cowher]

Actually, you can get a 'Casual Kilt' made of P/V from either Skye Hyland Outfitters or USA Kilts for just over 100USD. Both of which can be tailored to your measurements. P/V will hold up much better than the material Sport Kilts are made of and the casuals are generally made of around 5 yards or less making them fairly light weight as well. This is generally why most folks advise against Sport Kilts for more than athletics. There are options out there that are simply a better value.

USA Kilts or Skye Highland Outfitters are both inexpensive options for a casual kilt and they look 10,000X better. USA-K and SHO are made as a casual kilt option SK is made for sports.

I do still love my Sportkilt, but I'd venture to say that even a Stillwater Standard ($80) or a Frugal Corner Heavyweight ($95) would be more appropriate for a semi-formal.

BTW, I do currently own a Sportkilt Works (Ferguson Tartan), Stillwater Standard (McLaren Tartan) and a Frugal Corner Heavyweight (Masonic Yartan).
