    Value vs. Tradition

    I have decided my next kilt is going to be a MacLellan ancient Tartan. I am also considering a USMC in honor of my Pop, but am focusing on a family tartan. However, since MacLellans aren't as common as other clans it needs to be a custom. $500 and up.

    The fine kilt makers on this forum, and you know who they are, can get the fabric and hand sew me a fine garment/heirloom. I wish there were a $150 version of what I want.

    My quest for advice is, is it worth the big bucks for a family tank if I don't plan on wearing it to more then a Scottish Assoc. dinner or perhaps a Burns dinner someday?

    Any low cost solutions for a kilt in this tartan that any of you know of?
