    Alan beat me to that comment! I'm in a similar financial boat and my wife has informed me that the quickest way for me to get a nice wool kilt is for me to make it myself. Don't worry about your skills (or lack thereof). Get some inexpensive material and the X-kilt pattern and start practicing. The skills will come soon enough and you'll have a few nice casual kilts to boot!

    That's what I am doing, then again, my ultimate goal is to be able to make them for other people so I have co-workers buying up fabric for me to work with while sitting at my cube at work.
