Product Description
"In Stock" Casual kilts are available in limited tartans, in limited sizes and will ship out within 24 hours. In the rare instance something is out of stock when the order is placed, we'll let you know immediately.
Our Casual Kilt is made from the best “non wool” tartan fabric available: a 12 oz Polyester Viscose material that is woven in the UK. This fabric is extremely hard wearing, has Low Pill™ technology to resist pilling and is Teflon® coated to resist stains. It holds a crisp pleat and is easy to iron.
The Casual Kilt is designed for the budget-minded customer or first time kilt wearer hesitant to make the investment in a more expensive kilt. It’s also great for highland athletes, runners, and anyone looking for a low-yardage kilt with excellent durability and stain resistance. It’s perfect for wearing to the pub or in situations where spills or getting dirty is expected.
Measuring for your kilt: We would ask that you measure carefully for our kilts. Since these are custom made to fit the measurements provided, you will need to be sure of the exact sizing. We will not refund in the case of mistakes in measuring. Detailed measuring instructions can be found in the "Measuring Instructions" tab below this text.

Measuring Instructions
Waist
The Casual Kilt can either be worn at the "True Waist" (A) like a traditional kilt or at the "Jeans Waist" (B). This is where the top of the kilt will sit.
DO NOT HOLD YOUR STOMACH IN. You’ll only going to get a kilt that's too small. Just relax and stand "at ease".
Make sure to use a good sewing tape measure. If you don't have a sewing tape measure, you can use a leather belt to measure. Wrap it around you, mark it and then lay it flat on a metal tape measure to get the measurement.
The tape measure should be snug – as snug as you will be wearing the kilt.
*Note: It will probably be 2 to 4 inches more than your pants size. This is common.
*TIP: BIG guys with large bellies may want to wear the kilt around the naval, as it gives a more flattering appearance.
Hip
With the same tape measure, measure around the absolute largest part of your rear.
Take this measurement a little LOOSELY. You should be able to slide a finger between the tape measure and your body when you measure.
This is the number we use for your hip size. In most cases, it's about 4-6 inches larger than the waist measurement.
Length
If possible, it’s best to take the length measurement wearing shorts and a form fitting t-shirt. There are 3 different ways to measure length:
1) With assistance
2) With bath towel assistance
3) Without assistance
1) Length Measurement with assistance
Stand tall with your back straight. Do NOT look down or bend over as this will change the length measurement. Just stand tall and face forward.
Have the other person measure down the SIDE of your leg. On your side, put the "0" end of the tape measure at the top of where your kilt will be (the same height you took your waist measurement from). Measure from that point down the side of your body to the middle of your knee.
The number on the tape that is right where the bottom edge of the kilt will be is the length.
2) Length Measurement with bath towel assistance
Take a bath towel and FOLD IT so that it is 22" long.
Wear a pair of shorts, so you can see your knees and stand roughly 10 feet back from a full length mirror. Hold the towel up to your waist, putting the top of the towel at the spot you took the waist measurement.
If the 22" length hits below your knee, shorten the towel by folding another inch or two, so that the bottom edge hits you square in the middle of the kneecap.
If the 22" length hits above your knee, lengthen the towel by unfolding an inch or two, so that the bottom edge hits you square in the middle of the kneecap.
Once you have the top of the towel sitting at the top of where you want to wear the kilt and the bottom edge hitting the middle of your knee, measure the length of the folded towel from the top to the bottom. That will be your kilt length measurement.
3) Length measurement without assistance
Kneel on the floor with your back straight. You're going to measure down the SIDE of your leg to the floor.
From the top of where your kilt will be (the same height you took your waist measurement from), measure down the side of your body to the floor down the side of your leg. It's easier to put the "0" end of the tape measure barely touching the floor and the numbered end at the top.
SUBTRACT 1" FROM THIS MEASUREMENT to have the kilt sit at the middle of the knee.
Use the following chart for reference. These are typical height / length measurements.

Price Value Quality I first saw this superb tartan at a festival last year and knew it was my next kilt to get. As always, the quality of the Casual kilt combined with the better than excellent price and great customer service keeps me a repeat customer.
I have already worn this hiking at 6000+ altitude in subfreezing weather and I could not be more pleased. The tartan itself is perfect for those of us with mixed Celtic & Germanic heritage. It is handsome without being ostentatious, looks good with just about any sort of sporran or other accoutrements. (Posted on 1/31/2023) - Behold the mighty "MacDeutsch" TOWAEASTER

Value Quality Price This kilt was excellent as an introduction to kilt wearing. The velcro is easy to use and holds strong even without a belt. The material is perfect for where I live. I have had so many compliments since I started wearing it. I will be buying more kilts from USA Kilts that's for sure. (Posted on 10/26/2022) - Not my first kit, but wish it was! Redbeard the Wise

Price Value Quality Again I am pleasantly surprised at this kilt. The colors are great, the fabric is great and fits my needs well. I am becoming more and more accustomed to the PV kilts. There are exactly what I need for the region of the US I live. I love the wool kilts, they are awesome, but the weather here is more favorable for the PV kilt. The PV kilt wears well and here is what I mean. The draping over the body is flattering, the wrinkle resisting after one sits is worth mentioning. The material quickly relaxes back into its former shape and pleats. That is one thing less to have to worry or think about as you move from sitting to standing. This purchase is another good experience for me. Thank you again USA Kilts. (Posted on 8/5/2021) - Everything I expected and more Matt Highlander

Quality Price Value The candy I ordered came with this kilt. It is nice to wear around the house and to informal and sports events. It is well-made with high quality materials. The double belt loops are quite nice since I like to wear Grip-6 belts with my kilts but will also wear a full kilt belt on occasion. I intend to order more candy in the future.

Price Value Quality This is my first casual kilt from USAK. It was on back order when I placed my order (very in-demand for an in-stock product), and I received mine a couple weeks later. I ironed the aprons and pleats and hung it up. The fit is just right. No elastic waistbands here! Looking forward to wearing it out and about, errands and hiking.-LGH (Posted on 8/9/2020) - Very satisfied Scottish hillbilly

Quality Price Value The quality of these PV is so good, I forget that I want to order a 5 yard wool. That was 2 PV kilts ago.
Cameras can't capture the beauty of these colors. The German Heritage is no exception. (Posted on 3/20/2020) - Super fast shipping, very nice quality Rylee
