If you find the cost of a traditional wool kilt prohibitive there are plenty of much cheaper options nowadays in acrylic wool or in lightweight polycotton.
I'm not a sarong wearer myself but certainly David Beckham has set the trend for making the sarong acceptable in the street as menswear, which can be no bad thing, as it is, like the kilt, an unbifurcated men's garment.
