If you expect to wear a kilt for good (church, nice restaurant, upscale gathering, etc. I suggest that you get the best tartan traditional kilt that you can reasonably afford. As discussed in another current thread, you can dress a good kilt down but it's not quite as easy to dress a cheap casual kilt up. If this is strictly for utilitarian use, go for one of the utility style kilts.

As for packages, it all depends on how much of an investment you want to make. Yes, if you're serious about this, it definately is an investment! I hazard a guess that you will find,as most us here have, that kilts are like beer nuts... one is never enough.

Good luck with your search, Ed
