I'd never paid much attention, until late last year I caught the last fifteen minutes of the film "The 51st State" (it has a different name in the US, I think) on television, featuring Samuel Jackson wearing a very good-looking kilt.

Then I realised that kilt-wearing was practical, eccentric and fun in modern British society, so I prowled around on UK eBay until I found a very cheap casual kilt to get me started. No point in starting with a massively expensive formal kilt if one's not sure yet!
