Think of it more as an investment than a garment. It'll outlast your jeans if taken care of properly. If you spend a the extra and get a standard (or heavyweight), you'll feel that much better wearing it around.

Go for whatever you can afford as your second. It's the third and the fourth and thereafter that really count. It's far more important that you are so comfortable in a kilt than it is the quality. Cost is hugely important at first, but as GB has said, you soon discover that longevity is far more imortant. I can't wear my father's kilts (entirely different shapes), but my brother does. I do, however, wear two of my grandfather's. Amortise that over the years, if you will!
