Depending on the quality of assembly and material, I would probably have several more than I do now. I would expect it to not fall apart after the first wash, and I would not purchase one that is too light. Personally, I like a heavier material. I would not expect a Wal-Mart kilt to have the same quality as a USA kilt, but for casual wear it should be adequate. Tartan selection and color would also be a factor. By my own choice, I prefer more muted colors (blue, green, black), and stay away from bright colors (red, yellow).
