    That doesn't look like one of those crappy cheap kilt packages, which is what I assumed when I saw the price. If it's as described, your wife got a fabulous deal. Congratulations on finding such a good shopper.

    As an aside, the habit of wearing different clothes every day is very American and very modern. When I was in Italy I noticed that everyone wore the same clothes 2 days in a row. I've been to other parts of Europe, too. I can sum up what I saw like this, everyone has a smaller house than what we're used to in America. And things are relatively much more expensive. They have lass space to store clothes, so they have fewer clothes. They wash them less frequently so the clothes last much longer. One woman told me a friend asked her "Do you like this sweater? I hope so, because if I get it you're going to see me in it all the time." A decent kilt is an expensive item and people aren't really expected to have a different one for evey day of the week. You can't apply the rules that you have for the rest of your wardrobe to your kilts.
