So that being said, if you end up getting a C of G kilt, please post a review! I have been thinking about one from them myself.

Lets not overlook that Gunnar says he lives in Iceland. It may not suit his need to order a kilt from the USA. He also did not solict advice about other kilt makers.

Best regards

I wasn't recomending Rocky as an alternative kilt maker. I was attesting to the quality of his advice. (Note that I said to listen to Rocky- nowhere did I say to buy from Rocky.)

I'm really thinking of going with this kilt ( but I'm not really sure wether to go for the ancient or the modern) but as far as the other products I also ment to ask. Has any of you bought a Prince Charlie Jacket from them or perhaps a fly plaid?

Do the regular teflon coated kilts have that cheap plastic-y feel? I'm going for look and quality so the price doesn't really metter.

Thanks in advance, Gunnar

So being the proud owner of a USA Kilt (and NO! I am not trying to convince him to buy one!) which is the teflon coated type, I can tell you that no, it does not have a cheap plastic feel. I have several acrylics, one denim, and one wool besides the USAK, and I like the the teflon coated PV material the best of the different types. The quality of the one that I have is excellent. (Again, not an endoresment of any one kiltmaker, just the materials and advice given.) You'll like the PV. However, as stated, if price is not an obstacle, then go for a nice 16 oz wool. They can't be beat- at least in winter! They're warm! The PV is great for warm weather, and the wool is great for cold.
