I would like to see a second opinion. Even if some or many casual kilts (and even some that are said to be "real" kilts) have those above mentioned details, I have not understood that "casual" in this context means something made to be poor quality and to fall apart very soon.
What I have understood of the word casual: "clothes or shoes suitable for everyday wear rather than formal occasions."
Waiting to learn some more about English language.
