If the kilt means that much to you, then you won't spend the cash for that collectible that just popped up for sale, or that new video game you've been wanting, etc.

...Yet I managed to save the money for a kilt that cost considerably more than $600. So the concept that only a rich person can afford a higher-quality kilt is just plain silly. It's all about priorities.
First of all, this is very well said. It's odd that we even have conversations where the "instant gratification factor" arises. What happened to patience and priority?

Anyway, I agree with McClef that the article failed to address the main point: truth in advertising. Where are the so-called "Scottish kilts" made? If there were tags in them stating "Made in USA" or "Made in Scotland" or "Made in Pakistan", it would do a great service to the consumers so they can make an educated choice.
