So I'm exploring the option of purchasing a contemporarily made Kilt. Does anyone have experiance and or opinion about these two manufacturers.

No direct experience with either kilt, but I have had several Buzz Kidder canvas kilts in this somewhat more traditional looking (no pockets) style, and still have one in khaki:

I've found them well constructed, durable, and decent-looking for what they are. Are you specifically looking for something with pockets?

Pockets or not it doesn't really matter.

I know there are several threads about both manufacturers.

I have owned several Amerikilts and was very happy with them. For the price point, they are great "starter" kilts. The back pocket is kind of nice, since I found the detachable sporran kind of small.

Both companies have long-standing and solid reputations 'round these parts.

Great kilts at

I just ordered two, quite expensive but hugely individual and unique. Removable pockets, front and back. Bespoke edging and contemporary tweeds. I also ordered two waistcoats and a jacket.
