This type of elitist attitude doesn't serve anyone well. The kilts made from less that traditional material serve a purpose in the world. If I hadn't found a kilt priced less that the cost of a traditional, I wouldn't have one. $400-$500 is too much of an investment in something I wasn't sure about. Now that I've learned, and experienced a bit of life in a kilt, I know I will save up for a traditional kilt or two. Though my kilt may be made of acrylic, the local Scottish shop lady ought to appreciate the money I've spent in her establishment on hose (x3), flashes, and a kilt pin.

For those who think a kilt is a traditional Scottish garment, and must only be wool tartan; think again. Though the kilt originated in Scotland, this forum is proof that the kilt in now recognized as an international garment, and as such is changing to suit the tastes of individuals. If there are Scotts who find this offensive then they better start a campaign to get more of their own kind back in kilts.
