Ok, so to rephrase, wool is expensive and worth every penny. And just as you wouldn't by a car or motorcycle blindly, a wool kilt shouldn't be bought blindly either. Give the purchase the respect that the garment and the cost are entitled to. Buy it, love it, cherish it and keep it for special occasions.

I'm a rough handed, blue collar guy. I hike. I hunt. I camp. I ride. A good PV kilt will serve me well in my day to day life and still look good.

Is that more accurate?

I'm not looking to be a headache, just want to make sure I've got it straight before I buy my first kilt for general daywear and then plunk down money for a good, proper 8 yard wool kilt (I have daughters, I'll need to dress nice sooner or later).
