I dinna think there is cause for worry over that !

If I am shopping for inexpensive stuff (usually shirts) I am partial to thrift shops selling "gently worn" clothing. GoodWill and Salvation Army are my favorites. Have scored some really good shirts for $3, and occasionally, I even buy trousers (gasp) there, for $3.99. Good place to find a nice Harris Tweed jacket to change into Argyle configuration if you are so inclined as well.

I think it is like everything else. There are different levels of price/features/materials, and different leveles of expectations and desires on the part of customers. The thing is to not denigrate others' taste and be happy with yourself, innit ?

And I won't set foot in WalMart except in case of dire circumstance (which is very rare). I don't think there will ever be kilts on the rack at department stores in america.
