There are other options that don't involve a full-on tank. Check out the off-the-rack wool "heavyweight" or standard kilts from our sponsor Stillwater for some less expensive -- but still nice -- alternatives. There are also made to measure poly-viscose kilts from USAkilts, which are also less than a tank but have more tartan options than Stillwater.

The gentleman was correct that one need not have an expensive kilt to show their Scottish pride, but they missed the mark about what one might wear instead. That being said, if you can afford a tank, go for it!
Could not have said it better myself. Sport Kilts are not made with formality in mind. Quite the contrary, indeed. I wear mine around the house and places where I wouldn't want to risk a nicer kilt. As mentioned, Stillwater offers a nice, economical, off the shelf wool alternative to a tank that will ship quickly and you can be confident wearing.
