And that is the definition of frugality. Rather than impulse buy and spend, spend, spend (which is what happens when people think they're getting a bargin) I would much rather save my money and get something that I value.
I think it's wise to point out here that the majority of us who own custom, hand-sewn traditional kilts are not rich, wealthy, etc. It's been three years since I last bought a kilt, and quite frankly, I really don't "need" another, but I want to support someone like Matt in their endeavours to preserve a bit of Highland attire history, namely the box-pleated kilt. If I was as rich as Midas, then perhaps I'd own more kilts, but until I win the lotto, or get a promotion, I'm happy with what I have.
And some of us here in the colonies, Panache. I am not ashamed of the fact that I am not a FT kilt-wearer, nor do I have any desire to be. My kilt is for special occasions, because my kilt is special to me as a symbol of my family heritage.
I stand with Robin -- you get what you pay for.
Cheers,
Todd
