kilt suggestions

[Norbydog]

I will make this short and sweet.......

I can spend about $130 on a kilt. I am a size 34, and would like something that is for summer wear. Not in a canvas, and I prefer straps or velco.

Thanks!

A USA casual...plain and simple...I expect that mine will be making many appearances on the local golf course this summer...not to mention giving my fellow campers at Whitewater State Park in Minnesota something to talk about. (I will be taking a SWK along just in case it gets chilly....thank God for voluminous backpacks!)

USAK casual. And give them a call, they might have one in your size already made up and ready to ship from the off-the-rack inventory. You could have it in a few days!

I'd take a good look at the scratch and dent section of Utilikilts. Some nice denim in there.

save an extra $100 and go for this one http://www.tartanweb.com/view/ready-...on_modern.html or the PV Hunting Stewart for $80 here http://www.tartanweb.com/list/standa...ard_kilts.html or the 5 yard Balmorals here http://www.tartanweb.com/list/balmoral_kilts.html

This is the same company as www.scottishkilts.net

If you may want a Welsh kilt try out the Casual/Leisure Cilt - St Davids Polyester (Hamish has one) at http://www.welsh-tartan.com/shop.htm

Isn't anyone going to suggest a Stillwater Economy?? I think PV is cooler on average, but I've never been uncomfortably warm in my SWK acrylic. Having the pleats not sewn down probably helps it breathe better than a more traditional construction. You can get 3 for $130!

i like 3 for the price of one.........

The Stillwater will be fine if you don't mind acrylic and the pleats not sewn down. I'm not keen on acrylic and I like the feel and would only buy a kilt if the pleats are sewn down. You have to decide what you like and want in a kilt yourself before you buy. 3 for 130 sounds good, but are you getting what you want out of your money. I would rather have one quality fitting garment than three that sort of do the job. There may be others that can get you a better fit for you and for your money. It's up to you as to what you are looking for.

Norbydog,

I think ByDand has a point here. I have found my UK Mocker to be quite comfortable on the hotter days. I just have come back from a 2 1/2 hour field trip to a hilly park with my son and 17 other kindergarten children in 80+ degree heat and was delighted with how comfortable my UK was. There is also Amerikilt to consider at $99 (though I have yet to buy one). Maybe you should give a modern kilt a try?

Cheers
