The availability of cheap poorly made kilt does invite mockery fromthose inside and out from obviously differnt points of view. I had thought long and hard about my first purchase of the kilt. I concidered the cultural signifigance the connection with my family which is nearly 150 years removed from the establishment of family tartans. When I weighed all these conciderations I jumped at the oportunity to be properly measured by a Scottish kilt maker The interesting part is she is not making it in Scotland so does that mean my nearly nine yard worsted wool family tartan won't be a kilt I think not. I decided on my kilt because I was measured by the maker form the closest representation I could get But if money were an issue for this I don't know if I would have been able to refuse at least a PV kilt.

To paraphrase the irreverent but wise George Buehler...
It's a kilt, not a shrine.
