    I personally think Sport Kilt is a waste. The acrylic fabric is not what you want to have a kilt made. I purchased one under the belief that it was going to be polyviscose as advertised on their site.

    I spoke with Seamus on the phone as such I have no record of the order. My belt loops are the wrong size, there are almost no pleats and the pleats that are there do not hold any kind of edge. Also on the underskirt there is about 6 inches of extra material that is folded back on itself and when walking my knee catches in it.

    Basically the only thing the kilt is usable for is sitting around the house.

    When I placed the order I had every intention of getting a Gunn modern from Rocky @ USAKilts and a kid's kilt for my son from SK. SK had Gunn ancient which is pretty much the best tartan ever* so I had to go with SK for both. Still kicking myself for not going with the kilt from Rocky.

    *Your mileage may vary

    I would echo the former posters' concerns about SportKilt. They are great... For what they are intended for.

    I believe that you might be much happier with a USAKilt or a SWK, or something along those lines.

    And BTW, mix and match as much as you please. 99.8% of people aren't going to notice; and for the other 2 (out of 1000), you already have a reason for doing it, and we're an easily pleased lot.
