bcmtnbka, I guess if you put on a skirt you'd just have to go chase yourself Anyway, I'm still very new to kilts and so far using fabric I had laying around I made two denim kilts. I'd love to go fully traditional but, like others I'm sure, cost is a prohibitive factor. I found some very tartan-like fabric at the local fabric store yesterday and plan on a couple more traditional looking kilts even if they aren't actual tartans while I'm not so patiently waiting for the arrival of some real tartan I ordered. On a budget we do what we can. Meantime, it's great getting advice and comment from others that are familiar with the real deal.
