The one most important factor, IMHO ....

USA Kilts sells a semi-traditional for around $200 and change that will be made to YOUR meassurements. Yes, it's polyester-viscose, but it will look great.

Ummm...

It would actually be 240 for me. I do like my USA casual. I am getting more and more convinced about the USAK as we chat. I wish I had the 240 right now.

Also, now that Stillwater kilts has added a second tartan to their heavyweight wool line, you might check them out, understanding that in terms of construction, they are not a "traditional" kilt, but they sure look darned good.

That pleat flipping or kicking is probably caused by the pleats not being steeked along the inside of the pleats at the bottom of the fell. The Wizard of Bc explained it to me, and it seems to be a tipical shortcut in off the rack kilts.

I'll just try to wear my Modern often enough for it to become an ancient or a weathered!

If only I could wear it that much.

I know, for almost three years I wore a kilt every day, now, it's special occasions and the occasional weekend since there are more important things for me to focus on and standards for me to follow, and to be honest, going into education, my wearing a kilt is not all that important.
