When selecting my first real kilt, I considered the Texas heat, and a traditional style kilt. I got my Leatherneck made in the 4 yd box pleat, 16 oz Lochcorran, as suggested by Steve Ashton.. Quality materials.. It is a machine sewn kilt but the attention to detail Steve puts into his kilts, I have no doubt my 3 month old grandson will inherit this kilt, if he chooses to. I am currently having made by Slohairt, and Keltoi Gaelic Clothing, a handsewn 16 oz saffron 4 yd box pleat kilt. I have become partial to the military waisted, 4 yd box pleats just because I like the way they look on me.. Both of these kilts cost below $500.00 each and with slohairts discount that one will run me about $350.00 US with shipping and all.. I might add, with both of these kilts, half payment up front after the details are worked out... Then the other half due before the kilt is actually sewn... Both have about a 2 1/2 month wait, so you have some time to get the balance.... A quality kilt is very affordable... And as Jock pointed out... You will wear it for just about everything... And it will last longer than the cheap kilts...
