Rant begins...
Personally I couldn't care less about being percieved as rich or poor by my mode of dress,but I am on a very limited budget and still wish to be kilted,so i wear what i can afford.
PROUDLY!
My girlfriend is allergic to wool and LOVES a man in a kilt, so it's acryllic for me.
The service from
Stillwater has proven superlative time and again,the products fit my needs and my budget, so there ya go.
On the other hand I make things by hand and know how much pride and hard work go into such things.
Those I have made knives for are proud to have them...THAT FEELS GREAT!!!
I feel that any worthy endeavor will have a cost and I will save up, or learn that skill,or barter for what I want, BUT that cost is bourne by ME.
All opinions are welcome and most are appreciated, but the final cost and descision are mine.
Set your own standards and look for no insult in those of others and you will be much happier.
End of rant...
