casual kilts, work kilts, and nice kilts

[Sir Robert]

To answer your question, as a rule of thumb I would say that:

Canvas kilts in the sub $100 range are the social equal to blue jeans.

Traditional wool heavyweight kilts between $200 and $500 (not even counting accessories) are black tie.

What these guys are saying is that there are a lot of kilts in the $100 to $200 range that could be either (with the right accessories) most of these are "Poly Viscose" or 4 yard medium weight wool.

Now my problem is that I bought a all black polyester kilt specificly to wear as a casual kilt but it is a little too nice for that while being not quite nice enough for formal wear. It will become club wear only I think.

"Bear Kilts has several styles of kilts, so saying a Bear Kilt isn't a kilt "to get married in" is a bit misleading. Our Traditional Cut kilts are made by a professional kiltmaker. They are true traditional kilts, the same as you'd find in any Scottish kiltmaker's shop on the Royal Mile, and suitable for any function, no matter how formal."


I'm sure that most of us here would realise that Rocky was comparing his own casuals with the casuals of other kiltmakers, putting them all in the same basket and saying they may not be suitable for getting married in.

USAK also makes a variety of kilts from casual to traditional.

I saw nothing misleading in the post, I thought the meaning was clear.

You're right Graham,
Most of us would realise that. But not all. Putting Bear Kilts and Sport Kilts in parentheses together as similar kilts ... that is misleading (intentionally or not) and had to be answered!
