USA kilts vs. Celtic Croft kilts

[Panache]

I'm not knocking USA Casuals, I personally like the higher rise. Frankly the velcro closure would be great for travelling (no buckles to set off metal detectors). Hmmmm perhaps Rocky needs to add a "Traveller" model to his line up. The same ammount of material and the velcro closure as a casual with a traditional rise and wide belt loops.

That is a very good idea! If I were to travel, especially fly, however, my one complaint with the velcro is that the ones on mine did not line up well. There's contact for only 50% of the strip.

I'm sure that this differs with the size of the kilt, but I'm not sure that it would hold up on its own for the kind of stress put on it for someone of my girth.

id go with USAkilt, it seems they have better quality stuff then an economic kilt thats a dollar less.

I'm with you on the style of the semi-traditional, but I would guess if you asked Rocky he could probably accommodate the velcro request. Although I think velcro on the left and maybe adjustable plastic buckles on the right might work as well.

I thought a lot about this as I was going through an airport in pants on a trip a couple of weeks ago. I hate setting that metal detecter off and I make sure my pants and all don't have any metal. At the end of the trip, I kind of felt that A USAK casual would be best, but I'm looking into buckles that can be removed from the kilt and replaced with plastic clips of some sort, then the buckles replaced after the metal detecter and all. When I come up with some good ideas on how this can be done, I will start a thread.
