Just received my first acrylic kilt

[dirkomatic]

This is a "clearance kilt" from Atlanta Kilts. I must say, I think it looks nice for what it is. I will try it on this evening and attempt to get a picture to post.

It is obviously machine made. The pleats are top stitched and it has a visible hem in it, but from just a short distance away it is not noticeable. The pleats are truly pleated to sett, unlike a Pakistani acrylic kilt for the same price which I recently witnessed.

The acrylic seems thick. I'll compare it to one of my 16 ounce wool kilts this evening.

I haven't done a real close inspection; just opened the box and looked at the pleating and the hem. I'll post more later tonight.

I'm not a heavy kilt wearer, and I will get it dry cleaned only, so acrylic will probably last me longer than others.

I think, for the $73 shipped which I paid, this may be my "go to" kilt.

More soon...
