The OP didnt say how much he was willing to spend. As stated above I too would stay away from the acrylic ebay $20 kilts. Having said that, i do own one, but it is use solely as a change of clothes for after i go bike riding -its nice to pull off sweaty bike shorts, and change into something cool and comfy for the ride home. Anyway, i digress...

You cant go wrong with Stillwater or USA kilts, members here have positive comments about them - I have a Stillwater kilt in my closet that I have had for years.

If you can afford it look for a wool kilt. I think there is a world of difference between wool and PV. ebay is a great place to find used wool ones, it just may take time to find size/tartan that you want. there are also a couple places in the UK that sell ex-rental wool kilts that you can find for under $200USD. Limited tartans, but usually common ones, and you can usually only order them in waste size, but I think you would still be happy.

HTH, Good Luck.
