Some people have the "if it's nae Scottish, It's CRAAAAPP" kind of attitude about kilts... that's a valid way to look at things.

Others have the "No WAY am I paying more than $100 for a piece of clothing" kind of attitude. That's fine too.

Still others own and wear kilts at differing levels of price and material and quality. THESE type of people tend to appreciate each garment for what it is and the price it's worth.

3 different views with "strong headed men" (let's face it... if you're in a kilt, chances are, you're an "alpha male" and pretty stubborn) in each category. Does that make any ONE right and the others wrong? No... just makes 'em different.

No one on this board is going to REALLY change anyone else's opinions on certain matters unless that person WANTS to rethink things. I think many threads get "dragged out" AFTER the REAL core of an issue is reached. There's a point when you have to agree to disagree and just give things a rest. Sorry... getting off my soapbox.
