Velcro??

[Panache]

I'm at an impasse... I really like the wider tartan selection of USA kilts, but I like the price of Stillwaters... Note I haven't bought either one before, so I'm looking for some pre-buying advice.

One of the biggest things keeping me from buying the USA is the velcro on the Casual... I've never seen or handled a USA kilt, so this isn't a slam on their kilts... but something in my mind equates velcro with cheap, I can't help it, that's just the way my mind works...

So, how are the velcro closures? Do they hold *ahem* pleasantly plump men securely?

I'm a huge Stillwater fan, but I should point out that the USA Kilts semi traditionals have a buckle closure system. Also in regards to velcro. I have a Sport Kilt with a velcro closure and I rather like it. If you have to go through airport security they don't set off the metal detectors. Velcro is easy on and easy off. It's extremely adjustable. And frankly, no one sees it! The only (visible) disadvantage is that you don't see that extra buckle on your hip.
Some kilt makers don't bother with the extra buckle (like Matt Newsome) because, frankly that buckle does little or nothing. It's a holdover from the standard military kilts of old.

On X Marks you only hear praise for both Rocky and Jerry because both of them are kilt wearers, X Marks forum members, and gentlemen as well as kilt makers/vendors.

Either way, you are going to be happy.

By the by, make sure to check the length! At this time Stillwater only offers a 24"

Cheers
