    I have in the past, but I much prefer the bespoke kilts. I am a big guy and definately not the average measurements, I need a bit more in the hips, and a little longer length, than what most off the rack kilts provide.

    Some people can do just fine with off the rack.

    Well, of course I would and did - for many reasons.

    When I first started to learn to drive, did I buy a new car immediately - No. I have one now, but experience has taught me what I need and what I want.

    There are many unwaged or low waged members of XMarks. Would they be able to afford a bespoke kilt - probably not.

    In this economic climate, food, mortgage, rent, fuel would all be paid by a prudent person first.

    Before, I had my last kilt made, my best kilt was an 8 yard, 16oz, hand stitched tank. It was also ex-rental. But it cost £34 delivered to my door. Would I buy another one like that - of course. I would be stupid not to.

    Regards

    Chas
