    bargain basement

    Who's got the absolute, rock bottom, lowest price on a kilt? For those times when you need a true beater kilt and/or for people who are on the tightest of budgets. The results will of course vary depending on shipping to one's location, taxes, size costs, etc, so perhaps the question is better put: who's got the all-in, absolute, rock bottom, lowest price on a kilt FOR YOU?

    I realize there is a wide range of options, and I would like those options to be open to the rabble. I will however limit the range just a tad:

    Must have an apron in the front and pleats in the rear. The fell must be sewn down or have a sufficiently wide waistband to approximate the same effect. (This second point is a personal peeve; I think pleats that go all the way up or all the way around look too much like a skirt.)

    The seller/maker must ship outside their own country. Just to be fair to the international members of this forum.

    The seller/maker must sell to the public and have standard pricing. The excludes getting a one-off eBay score or self-made kilts.

    So it's pretty wide open. Any fabric (wool, man-made, blend, etc), any pattern (tartan, solid, camo, etc), and any closer system (straps, snaps, Velcro, etc). This means traditional or modern kilts are both in the running.

    I'm not asking who has the best quality, value, or service as long as the garment is actually a kilt. Those are all important considerations but, for the purpose of this thread, price is to be the only consideration.

    The lowest price for me, so far is The Scotland Kilt Company's casual kilts for $55.81 USD (at today's exchange rate). This price includes shipping by Royal Mail! Polyester/acetate blend, fringed apron, 2 leather straps, and available in 14 tartans as well as solid black. And my lass can hem the standard 24" length for me.
