What if they sold Kilts at Wall-Mart?

I've thought about this, and as the kilt is the most tailored garment a man can wear I am not sure that having ill fitting Wal-Mart Kilts would be a good thing for kilt wearers in general. I'm not sure if you remember but around Burns Night this year a store much like Wal-Mart, Lidl in Europe, starting selling kilts so that everyone could get into the spirit for Burns Night. I am sure this move did nothing for kilt wearing as a whole, as I am almost certain that those who took advantage of this offer will not wear their Lidl Kilts regularly, and will only pull them out again for next years Burns Night. They will also, I would think look out of place amongst the kilt wearers who are wearing a quality kilt.

I was at home in Scotland when lidl had their sale on and although the quality was pretty awful they sold out in all stores in about 2 hours. The people who bought them will probably wear them once or twice but it was probably cheaper than renting and thats why most folk bought them.
That aside I don't think I would buy a kilt from Walmart.

You will never see Kilts at wal-mart because there are not enough Scots or folks that buy kilts in any one region (Local city/county area) to make it worthwhile for walmart/target/sears or any other store to carry them.

The Same is true of Scuba Gear

As a caveat - There may be one of two locations in the USA that could support it but that is a big maybe
