What about the USAK semi-traditional pv kilt? It has buckled straps and is around 8 yards. I do want to get a traditional wool “tank” eventually, hopefully early next year, but for now would a tweed argyle really look very strange with a casual pv kilt? I’m just trying to understand better.
Straps or velcro won’t be visible under a jacket and waistcoat.

If anything gives it away it would be the pleats or the way the lighter fabric sits. The semi trad would be better since they have deeper pleats. User Panache has been a big fan of dressing up the semi trad and from his photos here, I think he’s been successful.
