Purchasing Dilemma

[biblemonkey]

Lastly, if you really want a high-quality wool kilt in the Graham tartan, why not keep what you have for the PV kilt and save up for one? In my experience saving and waiting make it even better when you finally get what you want.

I am of a very frugal nature and can't see me bringing myself to spend $500-$700 for a 13-16 oz Graham 8 Yarder I want. And the Hynde (the other side of my family) is next to impossible to get unless I buy the material and conscript a tailor to do it as a one-shot. I seem to be more willing to spend a little less and get a few more kilts for daily wear than wait for a year and get the Graham tank I want. Plus, I would be terrified of ruining it somehow as my wife says I am kind of hard on clothes in general. I know that I will get the Graham Semi-traditional from USAkilts eventually for more formal family gatherings. Maybe I'm just a little excited about the deal and am getting impatient.

I believe some weavers treat thir wool with chemicals as to reduce the worries of staining. Some better aquainted with fabric providers might correct me on this.
