Hello! My name is Mike and I am a new member. I love kilts and have 4 from SportKilt. I know they are not "up there" on the kilt scale with most of you, having read several posts about them here, but for my purposes they have been fine and I find SK's customer service to be excellent.

Now, I would like to get a kilt in the Irish National tartan and am interested in something a little bit more - formal? authentic? - than SK. I like the SK for hanging out, sports, Ren Faires, etc. and they work great for that. But I was interested in something up a notch.

I am not looking to spend hundreds of dollars just yet though. I have checked out the Stillwater Standard and USAKilts casual, and would love any advice or tips you folks could give.

Thanks!
