Best non-wool casuals?

**Cassidy** · 13th August 08, 08:32 PM

Having recently replaced my old first kilt (a cheap woolen handmade that was five years old and beginning to die on me) with a new Sportkilt, I've been very satisfied with my purchase. Being a professional wrestler who wears the kilt in the ring, I love the fact that I can beat the crud out of this thing and it'll still bounce right back into shape with a gentle tug. And it's VERY stain resistant, I spilled a mountain dew float (awesome) all over it and it literally brushed off without a mark, without needing a wash.

So I'm satisfied with my SportKilt, but wanted to know if anyone had any other alternatives? Obviously now that I'm on kilt 2 I'm chomping at the bit to add to my collection, and I'd love to see what other alternatives there are for tartan kilts that can take abuse.

Fancy is as fancy does.

My parents live there, and I live with my parents. They're both teachers, and one is retired, so it's not like we live the way some of the trust fund neighbors do. Within six months I'll be in the Ft. Wayne area, most likely.

Get yourself a USAK.. and a two by four... and you might need a metal folding chair... they're louder...

I'm just messin with you man. I had a few fratenity brothers (IU) that were from there and went to Carmel High and I always busted their chops. Also had some good friends in Fishers and Geist.
Generations of my family is from Indy...once downtown and now the Southside, one sister is going to Ball State next year and another is going to Purdue (yuck)...

, I'm actually very proud of them.

What are some of the differences between a casual USAK and the standard SportKilt?

Is the Semi-Trad worth considering for such abusive activities?

And my favorite foreign object is the baseball bat. ;)

I went to CHS for a year, too.

Great to hear about your sisters, Ball State and Purdue are both great colleges for being in-state. I'll refrain from asking if they're single.

.....I just caught that "single" comment!

But hey, you do wear a kilt and could protect em in my absence so its all good!

But seriously, they are 17, and 18

, I'm saying that like it matters to people anymore

one is a partier and one is the more grounded study good girl. I bet you cant guess which one the party girl went to.

Way back when I did a comparison too...may not even be accessible.

My basic comparison is I've owned 3 SportKilts and 22 USA Kilts.

Have trouble getting past the "pajama-like" look of the SportKilt cotton/poly...course its nice for hiking regimental...softer...that's about it. Always be certain to order a SportKilt with sewn down pleats...otherwise you'll get it gathered and it'll look like a skirt rather than a kilt.

My two cents.
