    It depends, as has been said already, on price, but also on intended use. No $500 hiking, camping and yardwork kilts. Some off the rack garments fit me, though not all.

    In other words, if it works, yes. If not, no. I'd always prefer something built for me though as long as total destruction isn't likely.

    I doubt I'll get anymore though, as I have decided to make my own for beating around the toolies...a few bucks (less than $20 for my last two, and about 15 for the one I'm starting tonight) in fabric won't break my heart.

    Besides, it leaves more $$$$ to put away for Rocky and Josh's retirement funds.
    The grass is greener on the other side of the fence...and it's usually greenest right above the septic tank.

    I have bought several Utilikilts and Amerikilts and they have fit fine.
    A tartan kilt I would have made, like my beloved casual from USAK.
