    Rawlinson,

    In light of your explanation, disregard my former advice. For your specific purpose I think you're best to go with the cheapest kilt that SWK has. I had wrongly assumed that you were planning to wear a kilt as part of Highland Dress.

    Cordially,

    I'd like to on a daily or almost-daily basis, but I won't have money to buy or time enough to make a good enough kilt for a while (I blame college for both). I am, however, expected to soon lead a Celtic unit that seems to be adopting the Black Watch tartan and name and am therefore expected to start showing up kilted.

    In that case, and being unable to afford a bespoke kilt from someone on this forum, I'd be tempted to beg, borrow, or sell-myself-on-the-street-to-get the money to buy a Black Watch kilt from What Price Glory...

    With my price range and purpose, would a Sport Kilt of some sort be a better option?
