How hard do you have to look to tell a trad from a semi-trad?

I primarily wear what I think is now called the Casual... I wear them often, and in a variety of places.

The ONLY criticism I ever get really is people inquiring if I am entitled to wear a certain tartan. My response is usually "Why the (heck) do you care? You're wearing pants!"

Being a shrek-sized man may shield me from some of the criticisms that others might face, but I somehow doubt most of the guys here get any crap for their USAK's looking in any way a "lesser" kilt than any other.

That doesn't mean that I don't want Rocky & Kelly to make me a tank. But I am very glad that they have an affordable offering to get me out there kilted & looking good without having to sell one of my children to buy a tank.

For the record, since I started this thread, I came this close ----> <---- to buying a semi-trad today, but Rocky couldn't perform a delivery miracle (I asked if he could make a ridiculously short delivery), and I am still losing weight, so it will have to wait until next year. Thanks for all the help, gents.

While there will be a noticeable difference, to yourself as well, bear in mind that the Seaforth Highlanders have really heavy wool kilts, and they are often worn under the bloody arm pit. However since your kilt is a USA Kilts semi-traditional, it is made to look like a traditional kilt cut with the fell, the pleats, etc. so while there will be a difference, you will look better than if you were wearing a hipster casual kilt. The reviews on the semi-traditionals have been great. I saw one in person last summer and was very impressed.
