First I am not sure what a French duck has to do with the situation.
(yes bad joke)

Yes, it is a matter of priorities and based on my personal situation the family first priorities I have make many things out of my reach. I am very handy with needle and thread and would like to modify a thrift store jacket into a kilt jacket, but have not been able to find one in my size. I would like to have a tank in my family tartan but have higher family priorities than what the base cost would be much less the additional cost because of my size. I have been able to purchase a nice semi-traditional USA kilt and have made a couple of others, but to some these are not "traditional".

Maybe I do have the wrong priorities, I don't think so,
