Can you ever go wrong with a handsewn traditional?
Frugality = A handsewn traditional kilt which will last a lifetime (if well cared for) and serve as an hierloom for future generations.

Cost= PRICELESS.

I'm wi' Colin on this one: go for the handsewn traditional -- I'm the proud owner of one, and I have never regretted it.

Cheers,

Todd
