So I've made the rounds with all the off the rack "Casual" kilts that are out there at this point. I've worn all enough now to form an opinion.

Here it is-

The Poly V kilts from Heritage-

While yes this company is somewhat shameless, I have found that their PV kilt is actually EXTREMELY durable and the material holds the pleats no matter how many in-and-outs you do with a car. I'm finding myself really using these for out and about stuff more and more. The material is stiff at first and takes some wearing to loosen up a bit, but other than that-I find them perfectly worth the money.

The Standards from StillWater-

My first casuals were from Jerry and I love the customer service! I think you all will agree on that. SWK standards are probably the best acrylic out there. They are fun, fit well , and are as comfortable as can be (Although the material isn't pleat friendly for in-and-outs of cars)......I do have one real problem with them though-They material tends to thread-catch pretty easily. I won't wear a sporran chain with these. I even brushed by a door knob that must of had a small burr, because it pulled out about 12 inches of thread....Other than that-These are my preferred casual.

*NOTE* I bought a Heavy Black Watch and I think hands-down, this is the best deal for a wool kilt. Mine is just....well...perfect!

Kiltmart-

Um....Their kilt was OK, but the material was light and didn't hold up well. I don't wear it much if at all...Maybe I got a bum one. But good service.

WPG-
While not quite casual kilts, I did want to give them a thumbs up. Their kilts are REALLY nice and have enjoyed my Black Watch when it was in the 20's at night here in Atlanta (I guess I'm SoGapiper now). A little pricey for me, but no regrets.
