I'm staying out of this thread except to correct a few misgivings...

If you want larger belt loops (to accomidate a 2.5" belt), just ask! We'll gladly give you bigger loops for no extra charge. The REASON we put on 1.5" loops is b/c the "typical" customer who spends $110 for a kilt, DOESN'T want to spend $75 on a belt and buckle.

As a matter of personal faith, I couldn't wear it. (And where do I stick a pin?) I believe the semi-traditional model does not have this cross patch.
Same as above... if you DON'T want the patch on the kilt, just ask! We'll gladly leave it off. Also... the "traditional" place for the kilt pin is about 6" up from the bottom of the kilt, not on the very corner. Basically, the pin would go above the logo.

My standard Stillwater Kilt is just ... everything I want right now, but I will say there is a chance I will buy from USA Kilts in the future for their tartan selection and custom sizes.
As a point of fact... SK uses 8 oz Cotton Poly. While the names are similar, it's a FAR CRY from 11 oz Poly Viscose in look, feel, texture, durability, quality and cost.
