I bought a budget kilt. Didn't like it. The material is too loosely woven and the finnishing is poor. It was a costume piece at best. I gave it away. I like the folks at Shetland Piper. I've been happy with everthing else I bought from them, but not the budget kilt. Get a USA kilt from Jimmy, it won't cost much more and you'll have a garment not a costume. I don't have a Bear kilt but I suspect that those who do will probably say the same about his stuff.
