    To be honest good sir - I think this "rant" is a bit of a straw man. I read this forum daily and have done so for years. I'll admit I may not be observant enough - but I'm not sure I see any sort of trend of "kilt snobs" belittling those that choose to follow a path that includes less expensive kilts.

    An expensive "tank" or traditional kilt uses a more expensive material and it is constructed differently than less expensive kilt options. It will - barring moths and maltreatment - last generations. If that - or a love for natural fibers - or a connection to your heritage - or something else makes this sort of kilt choice important to you I say - good for you!

    If a less expensive kilt made from modern fibers fits your budget - or your desire to own loads of kilts - or something else makes this sort of kilt choice a good fit I say - good for you!

    I say lucky us for living in a time when we have all these options. After all, if it weren't for Stillwater I doubt I'd be a daily kilt wearer today. The fact that I now wear wool kilts is my business. Will I look down on you for wearing something else - never. After all that's why they make Mounds AND Almond Joy

    Sometimes you feel like nut - sometimes you don't.
