It's okay -- and I mean that in a positive way. It's heavier than I thought, and it does have straps and buckles, which I like over velcro. I think it's well worth what I paid for it. I think I posted pics in another thread where I did a more complete review. It's pleated to the stripe, so from the back, the kilt looks like it should be red and burgundy. Kind of a neat effect.
