"But I Don't Have Enough Money!"

Scotus,

With all do respect I stand by my point about your comparison.

Unless all you know of Scottish Culture is the movie "Braveheart", you don't buy a modern Kilt to celebrate your Scottish heritage.

But Jamie, in my time on this forum, I have seen many, many posts by people who do just that...they go for one of the cheap, modern, PV kilts to celebrate their Scottish heritage, against the advice of a great number of folk.

Scotus has the floor, and the topic is traditional kilt wear and the economics involved.

Cheers,

Jamie, we'll have to disagree on this one. I'll still stand by what I said in regard to Utilikilts, since I've seen this used as an example of a "cheaper way to go," or to "get people interested in kilts."

A little bit at a time is exactly how I have built up my highland attire over several years.

Exactly! Sometimes a young man may be given a traditional kilt, then, over the years, he gets a sporran and other things for birthdays, Christmas, etc., until he is set for day and evening wear. This is how many people do it. I don't imagine that most people simply go out and buy, all at once, an entire wardrobe of traditional Scottish attire for day and evening wear. Thus, the affordability of traditional Scottish kilts and attire shouldn't be an argument. It's often about priorities and being able to plan and save.

Sandford,

I am going to respectful ask you to read both my posts agian.

I am not arguing with Scotus point, I am noting that his example of Utilikilts is flawed. You yourself in what you just wrote above aren't talking about Utilikilts.

If you are going to compare it is best to to so apples to apples, not apples to oranges.

Cheers

I forgot to add utilikilts, Jamie, because I find it such a hard word to spell!
