Right now I don't have a mercedies, but I think of my three USA Casuals as the best Land Rover in the world. I have debated getting a traditional 8 yardm and someday I will, but for right now, I can do anything in these kilts. Disc golf in the woods and the mud, no problem have at it, and I wear the one with the patch so I don't snag a kilt pin. Want to go out to dinner with HoseHead while he is in his eight yarder or five yard wool, well I know mine isn't the same, but dressed up very few untrained eyes are going to see a difference. I can't wait for my 5 yard Xmarks kilt, but as usual the funds will be tight for a while so I will just have the cloth for a while. In the mean time, I know unlike real land Rovers that my kilts won't be in the shop for repairs.

I understand that my Casual's aren't heavy and wool and all that, but for the money they are a kilt that I will have for a long time, and be able to wear whatever the occasion. 14 oz wool in the woods in summer, not a great idea, just like taking a mercedes in the woods. But a Land Rover can be made to look like a sophisticated car, and you can drive it through the woods when the urge strikes you.

I have mercedes dream (believe me I have a spread sheet of kilts I would buy with powerball winnings), unfortunately my wife and I both work for the government, and to get a Land Rover on a kia budget is more than I could have hoped for. I still hope to get a few more kilts, Freedom Kilt is one, and someday a Possinger tartan, but I still love the kilts I have.
