my only problem with $500 dollar kilts....isn't the actual cost per se...(I get why they're expensive, even if it does hurt my pocketbook) It's....when to wear something that costs so much.
I'm in between "it cost too much to keep hidden in the closet" and "it cost too much to wear all the time and ruin"...argh! What to do, what to do?
My first "tank" will be my xmarks tartan...and I'll wear it with pride, but I suspct only on special occasions.

Echoing what Panache said above...there is definately a place in my wardrobe for cheaper kilts.
I have dress pants I wear when called for, and cheap grungy jeans I wear when appropriate. Why should kilts be any different?
