Yes, you are!

SportKilts are very nice, for their kind. The fabric is something like a poly-cotton blend. If you'd like to get a kilt for yourself that's just like the boys', the plain SportKilt may be the way to go. If you have any questions, by all means email them.

SK has a modest number of pleats, some photos here

If you want something more traditional-looking, USAK may be the way to go. Look at the neat video of Ron on their Casual Kilt page.

USAK may be able to accomodate the boys too, just email & ask. Their backlog of work is probably longer. I am eagerly awaiting my first USAK semi-trad---Apparently when I ordered, I too was displaying a little extra tight-fistedness; so I did not pony up the rush-order fee. That may be a consideration, if you want to get in some kilted quality time this summer.

Both vendors are great. You basically can't go wrong.
