I am in the process of choosing an initial kilt and am presently leaning most heavily toward purchasing the USA Kilts Casual Kilt Package - I already have a pair of hose and flashes from a few years back but the general package (including sporran, kilt pin, etc.) seems to be a bargain in lieu of buying the extra items piecemeal and I could always use an extra set of hose and flashes.

What are your opinions on the USA Kilts Casual Kilt? I noticed that this is Velcro closure rather than straps and am wondering if Velcro closure gives more customization for fit than the straps.

My only potential clan affiliation would be Cameron (Chambers sept via my mother's surname) - as that clan tartan is not specifically offered and I am not formally affiliated I am thinking about going with a "general" tartan for the time being, leaning toward Black Watch. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
