It is sometimes hard to justify paying $500 or $600 for that first kilt, but as Matt noted if you wear your kilt fequently you will enjoy your kilt investment. A good Scottish wool kilt is an cost effective investment, properly cared for, it will last several generations.

Be warned kilts are addictive, once you get that first kilt you will find many events to attend kilted and find that one kilt isn't enough.

Welcome to the neighborhood

Matt makes some very good points.

The urge to buy the most economical (inexpensive) kilt is very tempting. Everyone here gets a jolt when a kiltmaker shows up with a cheaper price. However, most folks who want to make a wise purchase realize, that there are many factors that go into a quality kilt. Studying and learning about these factors on this forum will ensure that when you do buy a kilt it will be a quality garment that will last for a very long time and look great. I can assure you, you will not regret paying a bit more for a kilt that is well made, looks great and is a pleasure to wear.

The key is....DO NOT run out and buy the first kilt you stumble on!! Do some studying here first and you will appreciate the craftsmanship of the kiltmaker and that 100 to 500 purchase will not seem unreasonable.
