Itessig,

As you are fairly new to our forum I would like to point out a very subtle aspect of X Marks.

You asked a question and are seeking advice. But, did you notice that although mentioned six times in the responses you have so far, not once has Rocky of USA Kilts chimed in and self-promoted his own product?

We, the advertisers on X Marks, have since our very early days, held to the ideal that we would be polite towards our fellow advertisers and humble when it comes to self-promotion.

The reason you have not heard from Rocky directly in answer to your inquiry is that he is the embodiment of that ideal.

One of the reasons Rocky and USA Kilts is so successful, and so respected on this forum is that he will never chime in on a thread like this and self-promote his own product.

And for that reason, among others, my choice when looking for a kilt in the price range you mention will always be USA Kilts.

I am not as humble as Rocky and I do make a Kilt from the same Polyester/Rayon fabric as Rocky uses, but I won't self-promote on this thread either. This is primarily due to my kilts being just a bit out of your stated budget. I don't make a price-point, budget model Kilt.

You are free to choose your own kilt and I applaud you for doing your research. The final decision must be yours because frankly it is your hard earned money.

But I thought I would let you in on a little secret and let you know that although in my opinion Rocky is the best choice for a Kilt in your stated price range you will never see him come on the forum and hawk his own wares. He lets his reputation speak for him.
