Thanks Matt and Rocky, great stuff.
Yes, good thread.
I would like to add, in response to:

Bear Kilts has several styles of kilts, so saying a Bear Kilt isn't a kilt "to get married in" is a bit misleading. Our Traditional Cut kilts are made by a professional kiltmaker. They are true traditional kilts, the same as you'd find in any Scottish kiltmaker's shop on the Royal Mile, and suitable for any function, no matter how formal.
I agree there are kilts that should be worn at formal weddings. They are true traditional kilts. There's just no comparing a hand sewn kilt to a machine sewn kilt. A sewing machine just can't tug in all the right places.
I may be well known for the design and popularity of the Classic Cut and Grizzly Cut kilts, but I sell true traditional kilts, too.
