Which you prefer?

A kilt made from the best quality 16 oz. strome weight wool from your favorite mill in your favorite tartan, but made by a very poor kilt maker?*

Or

A kilt made out of material from a fabric store's bargin bin, but made by Matt Newsome, Barb T. , Steve Ashton, or Rocky?

I bet that everyone who is a regular reader of XMTS would choose the second option without much thought at all.

Of course, a semi Traditional would also be on that list.
