    Great piece of news. Many of us on this forum have ridiculed the Instakilt but if it is someone's first step towards eventually owning a real kilt, then that's another convert. Certainly the Instakilt has helped raise the profile of kilts in Scotland, they are on sale in every High Street and I've even seen a guy walking around Gretna Gateway shopping mall wearing one.

    Cheap, cheesey, tacky- those are words that come to my mind when I think of the Instakilt. And you know what? I'm a huge Bruce Campbell fan. So cheap, cheesey and tacky are right up my alley. I want one of those! They're awesome! ... in that The Man With The Screaming Brain kind of way!

    That was pretty funny, and that is exactly what instakilts are meant to be

    I do a week long Bruce Campbell-A-Thon starting several days before New Years Eve, and culminating at midnight on Dec 31 with Army of Darkness. It's great.

    Someone gave my partner one of these for Christmas tonight and it wasn't me.

    Er - He looked smashing in it, but we noticed that it wraps the wrong way.
