The Kilt Society -kilt material is heavier and does not hang so well. The weight about equal to a woollen kilt, maybe a bit less. Seems to show signs of wear more than the Casual, but not much.

Would I by again?
USAkilt Casual, for sure, if the one I am using goes to the kilt heaven.
Kilt Society PV, maybe, but only in 5 yd version, if they have one at that time. Right now I did not see any on their page. Their 8 yarder is just too heavy for casual use. (Well. if you intend to sit on some cold rock there is a reasonable use for that excessive amount of material in the back... but for that I have a woollen 16+oz 8 yarder. )
I seem to recall the KS kilts didn't have the top of the pleats scalloped out which would add bulk and weight. Do you know if this is true in your case?
