    Re: Because you're worth it

    That is one of the worst examples of a wannabe kilt ever. I guess once you get known as a designer you can put out total crap and people will still buy it. Even if it is 2 grand.

    I hate to say this but you can get a much better quality black kilt for a fraction of the price at certain "fraternal" shops in Edinburgh!

    The price is hilarious for cotton. For that money you can get a cashmere kilt at scotweb.

    Just because they charge it doesn't mean anybody pays it!

    Re: Because you're worth it

    “Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.” -Oscar Wilde

    From the wide waistband to the odd, square ended straps, to the leggings (??) beneath it, I do not like this in the least.
    In fact I would go so far as to say that this skirt/kilt is physical proof that change for the sake of change is change for the worse.

    The fact that it costs far more than even a custom woven, custom fitted kilt made by hand FOR YOU is not helping either.
