What was in the heavy box?

I go with the group that's saying "Get a belt"...less wear and tear.

But when I got the Celtic Medallion Sporran from USA, I left the chain as it was, placed the rings so that the sporran fit and took the long side of it and threaded my Leatherman Micra tool onto the last link and put the Micra into the sporran.

The USA Kilt logo's are optional if you ask when you order. Not sure how Rocky puts his on, but they come off of SportKilt and AmeriKilts with a standard seam ripper.

I think you're gonna love your USA Kilt. I have 14 Utilikilts and 14 USA Kilts....love them both.

Actually, I took the USA patch off my casual and used it as a replacement for a very phoney-baloney rugby club one that was on a red rugby shirt from American Eagle...I now have a USA Kilts rugby shirt!

Like anybody who shops at American Eagle would actually play rugby!

Got the shirt on clearance, by the way...$9.00

Is there any other way to shop?

Not that I don't mind advertising for USA Kilts... they have an amazing product... but I wish I'd known it was optional... then I'd have a spot for my X Marks Kilt Pin... I think I'll take it off and put it on my denim vest with all the other patches... or maybe on a rugby shirt I've got....

Oh, and to stay on topic... congrats on a great first tartan kilt! I also recently got one and was surprised by the difference in weight versus my UK... However, I feel it actually did better in the cold due to the type of fabric (not to mention the addition of hose and flashes). I assumed (correctly I suppose) that the added weight on the UK was not from the cloth, but the pockets, metal, etc...

I'm not too big on kiltpins (I have a couple but they're on designated kilts.) So, the USAK patch I like on my casuals.

Winter weather is a good way to reveal the weather worthiness of your various kilts. You'll just have to give the new one a good test run.

Just try not to reveal anything else when you do!

I'd FAR rather wear a PV kilt in the winter than a cotton Utilikilt. Even though it feels lighter, I bet it will keep you warmer.

I've been known to run around Chicago in the winter in a USA Casual. Mind you, I do wear an "under-kilt auxilliary garment" underneath but the weather is usually quite endurable in the PV.
