Should I or shouldn't I sell...
...my current kilts to help fund a new one?
Currently, I have two kilts, and old but still serviceable 13oz wool Hunting Mackenzie, as seen in my avatar, and a virtually new 16oz wool weathered MacPherson, as seen in this pic:-

Problem is, the Mackenzie is really too small for me now, the outer apron doesn't quite meet the pleats any more, and it doesn't look right.
The Macpherson is a beautiful kilt, but neither my girlfriend nor my parents like it.
I don't have the funds to buy a new kilt right now, having recently bought a house, so I thought maybe I could sell some stuff to fund what I want, which would be a 16oz wool kilt in weathered Johnstone, which is my maternal tartan.

The advice I'd like is should I sell, and would this new kilt work with the rest of my existing outfit? Ignore the hose, they are easily replaced. I also have a Lovat green day jacket, and brown sporran & belt.
In addition to the two kilts, I also have 6 yards of double width (60") 13oz wool in Maclean of Duart Hunting that I once used when experimenting with a feileadh mor. This too would be for sale.
The new kilt would have to function as a 'tank', used for everything from weddings to hillwalking in the Scottish highlands.
Thanks!
