To buy or not to buy? That is the question.

That depends quite a bit on what you are expecting.

I have two kilts from Gold Bros (Heritage of Scotland, Monarch of the Glen, etc, etc, etc).

Are they 'bad' kilts? Not for the money.

Do they remotely compare to one of my custom made kilts? Not in a billion years.

The pleats are top stitched to the fell, there is little internal structure (no stabilizer), and they have rather weedy leather straps.

Do I still wear them? Sure. On occasions where one of my good kilts might get very dirty or beer soaked (like at a music fest).

If you watch ebay you might find one your size pop up. Gold Bros seem to drop loads of stuff on ebay for a lot less than they it for on their websites. I think I paid an average of $50 for each of my kilts, including international delivery.

Thanks for your input. My woolen one is still in the postal system so I have nothing good to compare it with yet. It's not a lot of money, so worth a gamble probably. I had seen these on ebay in the past and wondered about them.
