My reasons for getting a kilt are as follows: I first lived in Scotland in the mid-80's and, as it happens, one gets invited to various formal events, balls, dinners etc, and I noticed that at least half of the men there were kilted. I enquired into the cost of hiring an outfit (around £40-50 a time) and I reckoned that if you paid out around £500 for a reasonably good outfit, it would pay for itself in 10 wearings!

So have had an outfit ever since....
