Kilt buying woes

[DrakeC]

My first kilt was ordered from amazon, fulfilled by a third party seller. The tag described it as poly viscous made in Pakistan. When it arrived, it was about seven inches too large, falling off of me even in the smallest strap configuration. Back it went, $20 wasted in shipping.

Fast forward to next attempt. I ordered an acrylic from Tartanista. The size was perfect and it looked fine, but after two hours of wear the pleats look absolutely horrible. Oddly enough, the material looks and feels exactly like the "PV" kilt I first ordered. This one is going back too, another $10 wasted on shipping. Tartanista responded very well to my request for refund, so no complaints there, they're treating me fine.

Tell me, does acrylic typically so this after sitting on it for 15 minutes?

So here I am. I'm done with cheap options and wasted time. I will NOT buy an acrylic again, nor will I buy from any no-name seller. I need a nice quality black watch kilt. I want it to look great hold up. I'm thinking that PV is probably my best bet, but am open to suggestions. I don't want to spend more than $200 if possible. What do you think are my best options for my dollar?
