The USA Kilts model will be ther better kilt by far--hands down.

The Stillwater is a pretty good buy for what you are getting, though. There are two considerations as I see it:

1. Do you need acryllic because you plan to do something that will require freequent washing? If it's for competition or something definitely go with the acryllic. But you should know that the SWK will not look anywhere near the quality of the USA Kilt. It's just not the same beast and doesn't claim to be.

2. Is quality a concern? I only wear wool kilts because I like the wool. If Rocky makes a kilt, it will be a fine garment you'll be proud to own.

Having said all that, I have a wool Leatherneck from SWK, and I love the kilt. I'm not in any way knocking SWK, but you're comparing apples to oranges here. One is a pretty OK kilt designed to be inexpensive and easy to wash. The other is a finer garment made to measure, so it's really a matter of what you are looking for. Either way, you deal with good people who make great products.
