I agree.

I have been around the punk/goth/alternative/metal scene since late 80's and we didn't have hot topic back then. We had to make our own stuff. We frequented thrift stores, custom shops, hardware stores and various clothing stores to get inspired. It was like a treasure hunt. Without influence of the internet, we had to rely on our imagination to design our own outfit.

I am in the process in converting a cheap Pakistani kilt for a friend. I like doing that kind of mod because I can raid my tool box and shop at Home Depot. The finish kilt should have chains, studs, and uses a green ammo bag for storage.
