I don't like them and rarely ever wear them. I wasted enough money to pay for a wool kilt in the process. There are some really good alternative kilts out there, I love my USA kilts, my Bearkilt, my Stillwater kilt, and my Utilikilts. Each of them is a great garment but none of them are a "substitute" for my formal wool kilt.

I totally agree with you now Jamie!!! For all that I spent on my 4 casual kilts, I could have bought a really good 5 yard and 8 yard handsewn wool kilt. The fit, the feel, the look, and the durability is just so much more.

Not to take away from my other kilts as each has it's plus points, but they just can't compare to the traditional 8 yard handsewn wool kilt. It's nice to have a few others for trips to the pub or for the dry heat of the summer though.
