I'm thinking about adding a "casual" kilt to my warddrobe -- preferring to keep my Geoffrey (Tailor) for special occasions -- and these look reasonable for the task: something that will look good, but not break the bank. (I figure ~$100 is about what I could justify spending on something of the sort.)

Cajunscot recommended USA Kilts, too, but they're more than I'd like to spend....

As for flashes, would this work? http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/garters.html

Thanks for the info on the site. I really like the 16oz PV Kilts from TKN. It came out to about 114.00 with shipping. I should have it in 2-3 days. I have a solid black one and if they ever do a Davidson i'll be picking that up.

I usually

1. Go online.
2. Search for kilt flashes.
3. Purchase
4. Wait (or not, if I order from stillwater)

I probably just make my own or buy a pair from TKN. Gray is hard to find in Flashes....Cheers

Jaeson,

Please post a picture of your Hamilton Gray kilt after you get it.

I would also be interested in a review of the casual tartan kilts that TKN sells.

I'm curious about the weight of the kilt you just ordered

I know that Rocky, Pete, and a lot of our other Kilt Makers have been hunting for true 16 oz PV tartan. Is this what the Kilted Nation advertise it as? Do they note where the fabric is from?

Look forward to the pictures of your new kilt.

Cheers

Jamie

Is there some reason why 16 oz PV is unavailable? I mean, is it just a lack of sufficient demand, or is there some technical issue involved?
