My first kilt was a Burnett's and Struth wool casual, which are an exceptional deal, especially if you can catch a sale and they have a tartan you want. They were great to work with, and the kilt is lovely. They have a greater selection in the heaviest line of tartans. They (and Rocky of USA Kilts) also make full-length kilts.

I am considering ordering a PV from USAKilts and also a quality hand-made tank. There is another thread today that compares kilt qualities and purposes. I am pretty convinced that the recommendations to save money and buy the best make lots of sense for those who wear kilts on special occasions. A knock-around casual PV kilt has its place though.
