First Kilt Purchase

[d_lairson]

I'm looking to buy my first non-wool kilt, looking for something inexpensive that I can wear all the time. I'm looking at a Stillwater Thrifty-Kilt (Black Watch). This may sound weird but I'm worried about the pleats. Does the fact that they are not sewn down make that much of difference? As I have never worn a kilt that did not have sewn down pleats, I don't know if it is an issue.

Thanks
