The OUTRAGEOUS Price of kilts!

[mdeesnuts]

Kilt == P*nts

Or more precisely said, a kilt is an (better) alternative to p*nts. As much as I may agree with Alan, it makes this no less true. Considering that truth, kilt prices - if you would like kilt usage to become more widespread - should be on par with p*nt prices.

This is most definitely not the (common) case. Had I not found Stillwater there would be a half dozen less kilt wearers in the world today. Those I turned on to kilts may or may not become kilt aficionados, but with $100+ pricing, none would have bought their first kilt.

While some may enjoy the novelty of kilts, or thrive off of the attention they bring, some of us just want more comfortable clothes. Please help us bring the cost down and usage up by encouraging mass market practices.

I must disagree, you get what you pay for. Pants are made on machines.. machines that likely replaced a human or two. I have never found a pair of pants that fit me correctly and likely never will since they aren't custom made. I have never seen a pair of pants that will last 50 years (there are still some kilts around which are much older than that!). Wearing a pair of pants makes me look just like everyone else, there's no "personality" to them. I remember having to buy several pair of pants to go with several differnet "modes" of wear (dress, semi-dress, casual, work, etc).. whereas 1 kilt looks just as good with a coat and tie as it does with a t-shirt and flip flops.

Let's have a look, shall we?

Dress pants (for suit and tie) $50.00 each? And I'll need five?
$250.00

Casual pants (for outings with friends) $20.00 each? And I'll need five?
$100.00

Work pants (for employment) $20.00 each? And I'll need five?
$100.00

Cleaning/maintenance of these garments (on a weekly cycle) ? $$?
How long will they last? Will I have to buy more?
----------------------------------------
So far we have $450.00 for 15 garments for three uses, and I feel these prices are low, since custom made pants will increase the price.

I think that much of the time people don't think about this cost because they buy pants one pair at a time, whereas buying a kilt is an "all at once" price.

1 kilt can be used for all of these uses and an 8 yard, knife-pleated, kilt made from 13 ounce tartan costs about $450.00. And, a kilt will fit me better than any machine-made pants as well as last much longer.

Just my opinion, but there's no comparison.. I'll take a kilt over pants any day

Long live kilts!
