Peer pressure maybe or maybe not. I find that my kilt wearing has changed a bit, to a more relaxed style and I do attribute that to everyone here. As far as purchasing things, it comes down to comparing what experiences everyone has had. My horizons have broadened, and I am finding that I have more choices not only in kilts but sporrans and the like. I have even been inspired to start looking at making my own kilt and sporran, (that is a big step for me) I want more kilts! I have to be practical, because I manage others money as well as my own, I am finding that I have to do cost analysis etc., and giving that justification factor, reading the posts here have helped me in the decision making and will continue to allow me to get more kilts! So yes this forum has turned into a great asset as to my kilting experience.
