In praise of cheap kilts

[sporranlegionaire]

Like any other garment, I think there is a place for cheap alternatives as much as topnotch ones. I wouldn't take out the rubbish or sweep the drive in an expensive kilt, but would in a cheap eBay lookalike. As a relative newcomer to kilting, the expense of a higher priced outfit would have put me off from the start. If cheaper compromised designs attract more new wearers, and as they get into the spirit of it all they elect to eventually upgrade and support the bespoke makers, everyone should be happy. I'm now currently saving up the pennies for a traditional one.

Well it looks as if the general opinion is that the lower price point items are, in fact an entry point into the market and increase the potential customer base for the custom makers. Would you agree?
