Quality or quantity.....?

Perhaps I was spoiled early in the kilt game, my first kilt was a custom made 13 oz, 8 yarder, it fits well and looks great. The second kilt was a custom made16 oz, 9 yarder, it also fits well and looks great. Both are high quality pieces of clothing. Buying a kilt off the rack is not an option for me as a kilt 24 inches in length is about 3 inches more kilt than I need.

My kilt wearing is limited to special events, I wear a kilt about 15 times a year. The two kilts I have will most likely last me for the rest of my life, both are in tartans to which I have a personal family connection. Granted they were a substantial monetary investment, but they will last several lifetimes, they are a good value for the money. I enjoy wearing my traditionals, I know I will get many more years of pleasure from them.

I may be in the minority here but I like having both made to order and mass- produced kilts....neither of these are "cheap (<$100.00)"

I put UK in the later category because it is not made to my measurements....As far as a cheap kilt goes, I have an ebay special. It's okay but I would not do it again & wish I had waited (saved) for something different.

Many XMarkers have said it before and I strongly agree:
"you get what you pay for."
