I agree with all of Riverkilt's advice on what most is important in purchasing a kilt. He and I also have the same kiltmakers, so I guess that that says a lot also.
However, I also agree with Slag101, that people tend to fall into different groups, sometimes at different times in their life. If I had known about the huge variation in kilt prices I might have purchased one 20 years ago. But then again, maybe there was not such a variety of materials and styles available 20 years ago.
I think that Bricekolob has provided a valuable service to the current and potential kiltwearing community. Is the initial chart perfect? No. Is it valuable as a resource to all of us? Yes. Is it a good starting point for discussion and decision making? Absolutely.
Thank You
