If I see a man in jeans I cannot from a distance see whether they are just thrifty jeans or expensive branded ones.

Unless you are pretty close you cannot tell if his watch is a $20-one or an expensive Omega or Rolex.

So it is with many cheap kilts compared to fine, expensive ones. A close ‘contact’ is needed.
And from a certain quality level and upwards you might even have to feel or in detail examine the kilt to judge whether we talk a mid-price kilt or a really expensive one – well, unless, of course, you are really a specialist.
But how often do we meet such specialists?

Accordingly a cheap kilt may not be for in-home use only. But if you are to meet specialists, I agree, that you should of course wear your very best kilt.
