short Target story

[michael steinrok]

I was walking around Target with the GF in a Stillwater Kilt Hunting McLeod. A woman behind us was making remarks about not recognizing the tartan even though her husband wore one. She later asked the gf what tartan was it? The gf said "I don't remember which one this is , he has twelve of them!" The woman made a funny look and said oh.

Most folks think that a tartan kilt is $$$$$$,,, they don't realize there are lower cost alternatives. I have shared that with many folks around here!

BTW, 12 is a nice number... 1 a month

If 2 more, one a day for 2 weeks w/o repeat . . .
Though, I'd prefer 1 or a few well made ones than a closet of cheap crap ones. For those of us on a budget, a USA, Freedom, or the like are a great compromise ofd good stuff at a good price.
OR, make your own quality ones of good material. The labor cost is your own.

Wouldn't know about cheap crap kilts, don't own any. One observation I have made, over the years, the kilts which have made a good or even great impression are the tartaned ones. Solid color or work kilts seem to cause confusion more that the more traditional styles. Who knew? I don't say dress for others. But, if you are a first timer maybe a traditional styled one would be a better choice. A confidence builder if you will. With sport kilt or stillwater you can get a traditional style for a fair price. Great kilt? Maybe not but certainly cost effective. Jerry at Stillwater will tell you the same. Even an inexpensive kilt is better than no kilt at all.

Dia Dhuit!

I've noticed that, too. When I wear a solid coloured kilt, I find I have to wear a lot of "kilt" accessories for people to sometimes realise what I am wearing. With the tartan you can go completely casual and most will still know what it is.

A word of advice for many new kilties who may be reading this: Always wear a sporran! This is a definite sign you are wearing a kilt and not your mum's skirt!

I only found out about the inexspensive kilts about 6 months ago. Same! I would have had several by know.

I'd have to agree with Slohairt and micheal steinrok, always wear a sporran. Currently all I own is a black UK original and I don't go out without a sporran, otherwise it just looks weird.

[McMurdo]

A sporan is part of it yes, and I dont know anything about cheap kilts either, but I think my next one will be less expensive than what I have, but it will not be cheap.
