Quick advice!

Well SWK may still not be an option depending on his measurements. I mean if it's an inch or 2 long, he can just hike it up a bit .. but if it's 4" too long .. it would have to be hemmed.

I'm leaning towards the usak casual .. but we'll see after I talk to him.

I would personally pay the little extra and get the higher end model. I have owned a few different PV kilts. I have worn my 4 yard casuals to weddings and while it might look similar to a full wool kilt in a picture, it is going to behave differently. The higher yardage helps with this a bit and gives a better swing to the pleats.

You may also want to do have a gander at :

http://www.scottishclansman.com/Readymade.html (proceed with caution with these guys)
http://scottishkilts.net/store/5_yard_kilts.html
www.westcoastkilts.com (check out the casual kilts- Rob seems like a great guy)
I am hesitant to suggest these ones, as they are so similar to stillwater (between an economy and a standard) but so much more in $$$$ www.canadakilt.com
and of course www.usakilt.com whom we have all heard the great reviews about.
Also check some of the rental places and see if they sell off old stock ever.

Either way, you should have no problem getting a Wallace tartan kilt.

I think these are are good options but if he decided to go Canadian he may want to try Canadian Casual Kilts. Until the Maple Leaf PV shows he may be able to fit you (or your friends Wallace) in for a 6 or 8 yrd. If you plead your case he may be able to cut you a bit of a deal, I'm not sure I'm not him. If you luck out he may have a bit of a slowdown soon. You may get him at a weak moment and be able to help you get what you want.

PM him if you want. He may just crack under pressure, then again your friend may be looking at kilts being too pricey for his budget right now.

I have never personally run into any kilt snobs. People look at you in a kilt and generally have very little knowledge of the fabric, weight, yardage, pleat set, whatever. They just see a good looking man in a kilt. So, if money is an issue I would say that th SWK Economy would be fine or many of the other suggestions here. I've worn an SWK Economy, standard and a tank to various occasions and other than other kilted friends, nobody knows the difference.

Congrats on the wedding.
