Kilt wars in Scotland

[graham_s]

I have a "tank" and I have a cheap PV kilt.
Guess which one I wear to rugby matches, and guess which one I wear to weddings?

A local Celtic Festival was having a 5k "kilted" road race, I wanted to participate so i purchased my first kilt, a $60 KiltMart brand Irish National and am perfectly happy with it. Would I like to have a "real deal" heavyweight kilt, yes, but does it make sense fisaclly for me? no. Now, that being said, while $60 is a cheap kilt it is still the most expensive single garment I own so I feel justified in wearing it as a replacement for similarlly priced slacks for my suit, and damn it, I look good in it...

I will someday own tartan kilt. I will someday own a wool kilt. I will someday own a tank. I will someday have to put my kids through college. (approximate order of cost). But I only see one of those happening in the next year, maybe.

Reading this series is a real roller coaster of emotions for me. I think that there should always be available "less-expensive" (under 60$ US or 30 pounds sterling).
I am one who has no need, nor desire to participate in high society affairs where a 500$ plus kilt is de rigeur. I am very happy to wear home made kilts which I find comfortable. I always feel overdressed when wearing a plaid kilt (I have 3, 2 from swk and one from Frugal) and sporran for daily wear around the house, into town for shoping, taking wife to the doctor, etc. I wear a brown corduroy most of the time, alternating with a brown twill, including going to restaurants and the Dr's office.
