Quality or quantity.....?

[Panache]

...And some of us here in the colonies, Panache. I am not ashamed of the fact that I am not a FT kilt-wearer, nor do I have any desire to be. My kilt is for special occasions, because my kilt is special to me as a symbol of my family heritage...

Todd,

I can respect that. It's the best reason posted yet for getting a custom kilt. If you want something for special occassions, a kilt that is handsome, meaningful, and makes you look your absolute best, and will last you your whole life you should get a custom kilt. A mass produced version will not be as satisfying. My one custom kilt is for those special times when I want to look my best. I'm not going to wear it to help out at my son or daughter's school. I'm not going to wear it hiking or to the park. It isn't that it my Matt Newsome kilt isn't sturdy (it is), but I wish to keep this kilt looking it's best for the rest of my life (because I'm sure it's going to last at least as long as I do).

Now I'm not a full time kilt wearer by any means. But I do enjoy wearing them out and about to the park, the store, the aquarium, Scottish country Dance classes, and whenever it suits my fancy. So I wear them at least a couple of times each week. So for me it makes sense to have a range of kilts.

So it would appear that it's not just a question of the what kind of kilt? It's also a question of what kind of use? As well as what kind of wearer?

As you are fond of saying "Horses for courses".

Cheers
