Just a note...kilts may be high but they don't have to be out the window.

I just bought a 10 yard tank, made of 16 ounce Martin Mills worsted, hand and machine stitched, with flashes and a pair of matching hose, from the Kilt Store and it cost just a little over $400 US with express shipping.

Of course, as an Xmarks member I got 10% off.

And although I didn't have a choice of any tartan I fancied, there were literally hundreds of tartans I could choose at that price and not all of them were "universal."

All that said, I am literally gob-smacked all all the folks who will spend $700-$1,000 on a kilt...the finest quality available and reasonably so...and then short shrift everything else--from sporrans, to belts to Argyll jackets.

Hmm...maybe the cost of the kilt leaves little for anything else...
