So they want the best they can get. The difference in the quality sought after is partly the tradition and sentiment.

But isn't practicality the "tradition" of the kilt? I don't think that the original kilts were made to be for show.. They were meant to be worn in the pastures and fields to be worked in.. To be worn and worked hard.. It wasn't until later that they were used to be for "dress" and only then did they start using so much fabric.. At least from what I've read around here.
