I have three SportKilts...the first two were a waste, the old gathered back, single length, no belt loops. They're less expensive that way but they don't look much like a kilt and if your leg length doesn't match what they cut it'll look weird/bad on you without alterations...why should you have to do alterations?
The last SportKilt I bought after they added the option of custom length, sewn down pleats, and belt loops. A much better look.
They are what they are. Check out their gallery on their website. Go to a Highland games and you'll see some - though most of us remove the big logo they sew on, you can tell from the polyesther look.
I like mine for summer hiking, light weight so cool, almost like hiking nekie. Fabric seems to be okay, all the kilt folks buy from the same mills so they're limited by the poly tartans the mills choose to make. Do a google search for tartan bedspreads and you'll get a site that offers all the polyesther fabric tartans the mills make.
You can also do a search on this board for SportKilt and find a number of similar threads.
Here's a link to some pics of my SportKilts, hope it works for you.
