Which one first?

[Thanatos]

Thanks for all the great advice everyone!

Ok, after reading through everyone's posts, I began to think, and what Woodsman said is very true. I'll probably end up getting another kilt very soon after getting my "starter kilt". So, I figure it would be wise to go ahead and get a better quality kilt from the beginning. Also, this would save a bit of money, which is always a good thing. Any thoughts on this?

Also, Finn mentioned the elastic in the waistband of the SK. Has anyone else had any problems with it? The black SK is the first kilt that really grabbed my attention, and it is the one I think I would like the most, but there are others. I've began looking at the black watch SWK standard kilt, and it does look very nice (although I would prefer a plain black color), and from what I understand, it also has the leather straps like the SK does correct?

Thanks again everyone!

Edit: I just took a look at the SWK Heavyweight Kilts, and saw the shadow tartan. Now the website says "A unique tartan pattern is woven into the solid-color fabric, and is only visible under certain lighting conditions.", does anyone know what this looks like and what lighting conditions it means?

Also thanks Riverkilt for the idea about the bath towel. I'll try that to get a feel for the length. As for getting it altered if it is too long, although it would be nice to not worry about that, I have a few friends that could take care of that for me easily if I have too. Also, I completely overlooked the USA kilt casual kilt, and they do sound absolutely great for the price. Thanks again.
