The first kilt I bought was a flimsy black cotton thing that I would now even hesitate to call a skirt. I threw it away, ... money I could have saved!

Even the first kilt I made myself weas of better quality.
But then it was my entry into the world of kilts.

The later DIY kilts were nearly all made of PV, I don´t wear wool at all, it is much too warm and itches terribly! But in construction they are traditional. Yes it is quite a difference, I wouldn´t go back. But I will never buy a "Traditional Handsewn 100% Wool Kilt", because I wear my kilts on an everyday basis and would not want to put a 400$ kilt at risk!

And I would never have been able to convince my wife to spend that much money on a piece of clothing ...
