The selection is bigger than people think (or feel cubby-holed into). Welcome and good luck with the hunt.

Photos are always sought after by the Rabble when you decide.
Atlanta Kilts is the only local place I've found where one can purchase kilts, but I did not have a very good experience with them. There are several online retailers that actually offer a wool kilt (13oz) for comparable prices to the acrylic that Atlanta Kilts sells, and wool won't wrinkle if you look at it cross-eyed like the acrylic will. I bought my regular kilt at the Stone Mountain Highland Games, which is coming up in October. There is also UTKilts, and of course the USA Kilt Casual has looked quite good on a few of the gents at Atlanta Kilt nights.
