Welcome back.

Under $300 I'd say USAK or Skye Highland Outfitters in that price range. A traditional style PV will run about 200-275 with shipping and depending on other factors, or you could get 2 casual models from either company for that. Just depends on what you want to do with it--everyday wear, special occasions, formal, pub crawl, golf, highland games. Both companies have a good selection of tartans and they both have awesome service and will answer any questions you have. I've emailed both more than once and got a response within in a couple of hours!

USAK's website has a pretty good page that can help guide you. In the menu on the left go down to "Important Info" and check out the FAQ's, Things To Consider, and What Kilt Is Right For Me.

Of course the people here on these forums are a great source as well.

And the for sale section of this site has some really good deals from time to time. Keep an eye on that. Every time I go a week without checking it I miss something good!

Good luck in your hunt, and this kilting addiction we "suffer from."
