That was a great review, but like you said there is a slight problem with comparing a SWK Standard to a KM affordable.

It would be kind of like comparing a SWK Standard to a SWK Thrifty. The Standard is of course the better product. I think the amount of detail that you put into your review was excellent.

I own two KM kilts, but both are the affordable ones that I bought when I first starting wearing kilts. Lucky for me they are located here in Arizona where I live, so I can just go down to their shop and buy one (when they decide to open).

I completely agree with you though, as long as you know the product you are buying and ok with the lack of professional quality, then purchasing these cheaper kilts is perfectly acceptable. As long as people don't think they are getting a scottish custom handmade kilt for $50 then it's ok.

Once again, great review and thanks for sharing!
