I think you made a good choice. I started with the UT deluxe, myself. There are 2 major things that bug me about it. First, the pleats wrinkle very easily. Second, the standard sizes are definitely a problem. The drop was ok, as I just hiked it up to the right spot. But the waist is awful. I followed the measuring instructions, and since I was right on the edge of 2 sizes, went for the bigger one. I am not wearing it much since I got other kilts with better fit.

After you've worn the Amerikilt around a while, can you comment on the wrinkle factor?
