Here is my advice which I want you to remember is free. I started only six weeks ago with a an Amerikilt which was an impulse buy at the MD Irish Festival. The hook was seated through my lip. I now have five kilts. One of three that I recently received in trade was a Casual by USA. I review lots of tactical gear (nylon) for a living and have a pretty critical eye for construction. I applied it to the kilt and was very impressed. If a tartan is what you desire get one from Rocky. That said I am saving a few pennies to by my boy and I Nightstalkers from Stillwater.

I want a Tank but will be putting it off because of two things- one is that I am 20 degrees warmer than the rest of the world. I even sled in shorts so the kilt was a natural for me. The other thing is that I want to increase my collection of what I will call EDW (Every Day Wear) kilts because wearing any kilt makes me so damn happy.- George
