    Ah, that word "formal" is a sticky one, isn't it. I am in complete agreement with those posts above this one. I think what I mean to say, is that my PV is washable, less expensive and so I'm willing to wear it a bit more. That being said, I would still wear it to a more formal setting. It is how it is accesorized that determines where it goes. My other two kilts are more expensive and thus, I'm more inclined to think about when and where I wear them. I'm happy to take the word "formal" out of the equation, entirely.

    Totally makes sense.

    Ok, thanks for the advice and clarification.

    I'll look at getting a 5yd for general use, may be even for some scout events. Just need to decide on which tartan...

    I know that the stores obviously want to get sales, but they don't always make it easy for those of us who are new to buying our kit.
