I often read comments regarding the cost of a kilt-rightly so because a traditional kilt is expensive to buy.

Too as a pensioner I do have to think carefully before buying a new one: well spending any money.

Having said that, they last so well in respect of standing up to the rigours of day to day wear, weather and all the other things that can happen to a kilt: that in the end they are in fact very cheap.

To illustrate what I mean-wilst the kilt goes on and on: such things as socks, shirts and the like have to be replaced time and time again. By the same token a pair of trousers getting the same wear as I'd expect from a kilt will last about a year/eighteen months: but again the kilt goes on and on.

So whilst I do have more kilts than I really need: compared to the rest of my clothing, they work out at the cheapest over a period of time.

So to misquote horribly 'a kilt is for life'.
