Alan beat me to that comment! I'm in a similar financial boat and my wife has informed me that the quickest way for me to get a nice wool kilt is for me to make it myself. Don't worry about your skills (or lack thereof). Get some inexpensive material and the X-kilt pattern and start practicing. The skills will come soon enough and you'll have a few nice casual kilts to boot!
