An intro, and a hi!

Thunderbolt from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I wear a kilt everyday, and like you do have a kilt or two that cost that much, I do also have other less expensive kilts. I would say if daily kilt wear is your ultimate goal, firstly you have found the right place on the net, secondly you will need more than one kilt, and various accessories. The good thing is that here we do have many sponsors that would be able to help you out in this.

Thanks for the warm welcome all.

Indeed, the kilt is expensive. But, it should be worn, no? What's the purpose of having a kilt and being too afraid to wear it??

Kidding aside, I'm thinking about another kilt anyway. However, it'll be an $800 one too. I love the 18oz wool and can't imagine wearing anything lighter. But it will take some time to get one, of course, due to the cost.

I have no less than 4 sporrans, 2 or 3 sets of flashes, 4 or 5 sets of hose, A couple of belts, a glengarry and a balmoral, two or three sgian dubhs, uh, two, or three sets of ghillies, a pile of kilt pins and a drawer full of misc. items collected over the years. Not to mention the PC, vest and pipers plaid for formal wear.I think I'm good for accessories for now!

Thanks again all.

You can get a reproduction kilt made of 20 oz. wool for around $300 from WPG: http://www.whatpriceglory.com/scot.htm

Very cool. If I was looking for a BW or other regimental kilt, that's the only way to go!

However, the next kilt I want isn't a common tartan, and probably be a special weave anyway. Hence the $800 price tag. Not that I really want to pay $800 for a kilt, it's just that I'm very happy with the kilt I have now and don't want to take chances with something I haven't had experience with.

Maybe someday I'll consider a knock-around kilt. But for now, I guess I'm to much of a traditionalist. But I would like something that I could not be so worried about.

Thanks again for the welcome. I'm looking forward to spending some time here on the board!
